Scenes from The Three Wishes or The Inconstancy of Life
by Bohuslav Martinu with libretto by Georges Ribemont - Dessaignes

As a prelude and preview to their forthcoming production, the UK premiere of Bohuslav Martinu’s The Three Wishes, or the Inconstancy of Life, acclaimed young opera company Second Movement is delighted to present scenes from this unseen work at Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival, August 2010. The piece, composed in 1929 in Paris in collaboration with leading surrealist, Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, is a genre-bending experimental work which fuses live opera and film, jazz and modernism, fantasy and social satire.
