Cocteau / Poulenc - La Voix Humaine album flac

La voix humaine (English: The Human Voice) is a forty-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

La Voix humaine, an unusual work subtitled Lyric Tragedy, was created ten years after Dialogues of the Carmelites. Francis Poulenc composed this operatic monologue for Denise Duval, his favourite singer, who created the role under the direction of Georges Prêtre, with staging and scenery by Jean Cocteau, who also wrote the libretto. Putting to music his friend Cocteau’s monodrama, in which the telephone becomes the main character in a sentimental drama, was an extraordinary tour de force for the composer.

The great one-act opera La Voix humaine by Francis Poulenc, based on Jean Cocteau’s monologue of the same title, returns to GNO Alternative Stage for two final performances. In the role of Woman Elena Kelessidi, a famous singer and an equally stunning actor. After forty years of friendship with Jean Cocteau, Francis Poulenc composed in 1958 this one-act lyric tragedy based upon the theatrical monologue of the same title that the author wrote in 1928. The inspiration for both these creators was the end of a painful love affair. In the beginning, his publisher had proposed that Poulenc composed the monologue for Maria Callas, who at that time was at the apogee of her fame.
