The mission of Wexford Festival Opera in Ireland is to discover and stage forgotten operatic masterpieces. Today French composer Camille Erlanger (1863–1919) is more forgotten than most, but he wrote nine operas for houses including the Paris Opéra and his fame spread far and wide: he has a street named after him in Quebec City. L'Aube rouge (The Red Dawn) was premiered in Rouen in 1911 and its passionate music tells a classic Romeo-and-Juliet story of love across political divides - Serge is the leader of a group of anarchists, Olga the daughter of the general who's sworn to destroy them.
