Season 2015/16
Opera

La voix humaine / Suor Angelica

Francis Poulenc / Giacomo Puccini

Two female existential dramas: the abandonment by a lover in the monologue by Poulenc, based on a play of Jean Cocteau; the denied motherhood in Puccini's opera, the second panel of the triptych composed for the Metropolitan of New York. Two women that react with extreme gestures to the stress of life upon them. Two extraordinary scores of the twentieth century designed written after many years, the first in 1959, second in 1918, but equally restless in their elegant formal composition.
