A voice. A telephone. A fractured love affair.

Claire Booth is joined by GRAMMY-winning pianist Christopher Glynn to present an immersive staging of Poulenc’s searing operatic melodrama. Take a seat at the heart of the action to absorb this most intimate operatic setting of Jean Cocteau’s ground-breaking play, eavesdropping on a life in the balance.

Opening with a bravura tour through a variety of songs influenced by Cocteau’s poetry, you are invited to a recital which becomes an opera like no other.
