La voix humaine (Poulenc): Patricia Racette stars as Elle in a new film from director James Darrah

OPERA PHILADELPHIA CHANNEL

Sep 24, 2021

"Opera Philadelphia continues its strong streaming pivot with La Voix humaine by capitalizing on the intimacy needed to successfully carry off Poulenc’s 1958 monodrama. James Darrah previously staged this work with soprano Patricia Racette at Theatre of Living Arts, a seedy and slightly rundown rock club in Philly, where the main character Elle was envisioned as a 1970s diseuse and the performance itself became a cabaret act..."—Cameron Kelsall, Opera Philadelphia video stream
