Miss Fortune , By British Composer Judith Weir , Is A Contemporary Re-Telling Of A Sicilian Folk Story. Tina’S Wealthy Family Lose All Their Possessions Overnight And She Is Thrown Into A Life Of Poverty. When Her Life’S Course Turns From Bad To Worse, She Makes A Date With Fate. Her Fortunes Mysteriously Change, And After Several Fortuitous Happenings, She Regains Wealth, And, Possibly, A Husband. The Opera Explores What It Means To Be Rich Or Poor; The Mysteries Of Everyday Life; And The Effects Of Chance, Luck And Accident On Human Existence. Miss Fortune Had Its Premiere At The Bregenz Festival In Summer 2011.
