Marble City Opera: The Human Voice

April 4, 2025 @ 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. |

Marble City Opera’s La voix humaine (The Human Voice) is a 40-minute, one-act opera for soprano and orchestra composed by Francis Poulenc in 1958. The work is based on the play of the same name by Jean Cocteau, who, along with French soprano Denise Duval, worked closely with Poulenc in preparation for the opera’s premiere. Poulenc’s tragédie lyrique was first performed at the Théâtre National de l’Opéra-Comique in Paris on Feb. 6, 1959, with Duval as the solo singer and Georges Prêtre conducting; the scenery, costumes and direction were by Cocteau.​ Soprano Kathryn Frady will portray the role of Elle.
