“I know of no other post-Wagnerian composer who could fulfil the theatre’s requirements with such nobility as Zemlinsky”, Schoenberg supposedly said – and here is the proof, i.e., The Dwarf, which was brilliantly adapted from Oscar Wilde’s The Birthday of the Infanta, and which tells the story of the brief encounter between a cruel princess and a dwarf that has been transfigured by his profound feelings, with grace and violence.

This cruel fable will be performed at the Opéra de Lille in a new production by Daniel Jeanneteau. It offers a wonderful opportunity to discover the work in all its intimacy, with a cast of singers as young as the characters they are playing, who will be able to give free reign to their dramatic power. Perfect in its proportions, lively and incandescent, this Dwarf has all the makings of a giant.
