Acclaimed young opera company, Second Movement, will be showcasing scenes from their forthcoming production, the UK premiere of Bohuslav Martinů’s The Three Wishes, or the Inconstancy of Life. 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.
