Boston’s most original and innovative opera company, Odyssey Opera, continues its Wilde Opera Nights series, a season-long exploration of operatic works inspired by the writings and world of Oscar Wilde. For one-night only, Odyssey Opera performs a concert version of Alexander von Zemlinsky’s The Dwarf (Der Zwerg), based on Oscar Wilde’s tale “The Birthday of the Infanta” (libretto by Georg Klaren). Led by conductor Gil Rose, this 90-minute opera is sung in German with projected English translations. Czech tenor Aleš Briscein sings the title role of “The Dwarf”—a return appearance with Odyssey Opera after his lauded performance as Dvořak’s “Dimitrij.”
