An intermezzo in one act of the Italian composer Ermanno Wolf - Ferrari, Il segreto di Susanna was composed in 1909. It is a work of a composer who gained fame in the first decades of the previous century with his comic one-act operas that were mostly created after the works of Carlo Goldoni. The plot is centred around Susanna, whose husband suspects her of being unfaithful. First, he thought he saw her walking in the street and
then he smelled cigarette smoke in the house, which in the end made him believe she had a lover. In a mad tempo with many comic situations, we follow the development of this intrigue that culminates at the very end, but with a happy ending. This witty and musically impressive one-act opera the CNT in Zagreb will perform at the end of the season in the atrium of Gallery Klovićevi dvori with Ivo Lipanović as conductor and Saša Broz
as director.
