Today Panevėžys Music Theater opens the curtain for Poulenc's La voix humaine. The claustrophobic room described by Jean Cocteau gets a twist in this production to highlight the isolation and loneliness of the protagonist. It is a space where a phone gains existential importance, as it is her only connection with the outside world. 

Panevėžys Music Theater is set to shake up its audiences with the highly anticipated premiere of Francis Poulenc's "La voix humaine" on October 5, 2024. This one-act opera, renowned for its emotional depth and intense monologue, features a libretto by Jean Cocteau and centers on a woman's final phone conversation with her lover.
