Performances

 
The TSSO is joining forces with the NTNG. Together they present Jean Cocteau’s one-act play “The Human Voice” and Frances Poulenc’s opera based on this play.
 
Francis Poulenc’s lyric drama gives both organizations a chance to present the same play at the same time, in “their own way”. The first part will include the play’s theatrical version and Maria Chatziioannidou will perform Cocteau’s monologue. In the second part, the orchestra will be on stage presenting Poulenc’s composition with Ilektra Platiopoulou (mezzo soprano) and Philippe Forget (conductor). The first part is directed by Giorgos Kafkas.

This joint performance will give the city’s audience the opportunity to see, in theatrical and musical terms, this breath-taking monologue of a desperate woman who faces abandonment.
