When Gil detects the scent of a cigarette in his apartment, he assumes that his wife, Susanna, has taken a lover, but is Susanna’s secret all that it seems? With music of delicious wit and charm, Il segreto di Susanna anticipates the screwball comedies of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
For Opera Holland Park's 2024 highly-acclaimed revival of its 2019 production of Wolf-Ferrari's Il segreto di Susanna, I was contracted to reupholster key pieces of antique furniture - a chaise longue and two armchairs.
