Work & Edition Details
This work was commissioned by Fortune's Fire. The text, by the composer, was translated into Italian by Nicholas Jose and Giuseppe-Maria Sesti.
The opera is staged and costumed, although it does not require the full resources of a theatre. The story concerns a woman sitting in a garden, who is visited by a man who commiserates with her on her husband’s death. It gradually appears that he knows more about that death than she would like. But in the end, it is he who is disconcerted.
The first performance took place at the Batignano Festival on 27 July 1977. The London premiere, by Fortune's Fire, took place at the Wigmore Hall on 17 April 1980. The work was produced by London Weekend Television on 23 May 1982.
