La Voix humaine - full opera

La Voix humaine (Poulenc), 2022 • 52m

La Voix humaine is opera distilled down to its essence: a musical monologue of searing intensity. Alone in her apartment, a woman talks to her former lover on the telephone. She teases, flirts, promises, lies and pleads. Finally, telling him again and again that she loves him, she drops the receiver…

​This production has been captured in 4K.
