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. The season continues with the Boston premiere of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s final opera setting, The Importance of Being Earnest. Inspired by Wilde’s most famous play, this comedic masterpiece is brought to life in full staging with music that pokes as much fun at the opera world as Wilde does at Victorian society. Led by conductor Gil Rose, the Odyssey Opera continues its trademark of performing hidden gems from the operatic canon. The dynamic tenor Neal Ferreira makes his Odyssey Opera debut in the lead role of Jack.
