Les Mamelles de Tirésias - full opera

Les Mamelles de Tirésias (Poulenc), 2022 • 1h 0m

Les Mamelles de Tirésias is a giddy romp of an opera that throws questions of politics, gender and society up into the air and watches them shatter into hundreds of glittering pieces. Frustrated with her life as a housewife, Thérèse transforms herself into a man and heads out into the world, leaving her husband at home to take care of the baby-making.

​This production has been captured in 4K.

Recorded live at Glyndebourne Opera House, Festival 2022
