Gripping Emotion
An evening of exquisite music by three French masters: Ravel’s glittering miniature Une barque sur l’océan, Debussy’s sumptuous La mer and Poulenc’s dramatic monologue La voix humaine, a one-act opera based on the 1932 play by Jean Cocteau.
A woman tries to get through to her ex-lover on the telephone, but the line keeps on breaking.
This is the last time that the pair will speak before the man – never heard during the work – marries the next day.
Poulenc’s depiction of her desperation is absolutely gripping – expect a heart-rending interpretation from Dame Felicity Lott.
With projected surtitles
6:45pm Pre-concert talk with Christopher Underwood.
