Here’s a sneak peek of our double bill: Poulenc’s La Voix humaine & Byron Au Yong’s Stuck Elevator…

Francis Poulenc: La Voix Humaine☎️
Poulenc’s searing one-act opera follows a desperate woman through a final phone call with her departing lover. This haunting musical monologue transforms private anguish into visceral theater, as raw emotion unfolds through Poulenc’s lush orchestration and Jean Cocteau’s unflinching text. An unforgettable portrait of love and loss.

Byron Au Yong: Stuck Elevator🥢
Prompted by a true story, this sung-through opera follows a stuck Chinese food deliveryman through 81 hours trapped in a Bronx elevator. This haunting 81-minute musical hybrid transforms what it means to be trapped in America, as raw desperation unfolds through a collision of operatic singing, rap, and contemporary musical theater.

Stage Direction by Luis Orozco
Conducted by Fred Cohen

The cast of La Voix humaine ☎️

La voix humaine is an intimate, one-act opera that follows one woman during a final phone call with her lover. Through a series of emotional shifts—hope, denial, longing, and heartbreak—we witness her unravel in real time, clinging to a connection that is slipping away.

This production features a double cast in the role of Elle:
☎️ Alex Delgado – April 10
☎️ Francielle De Barros – April 12

Join us for this powerful and deeply human portrait of love, loss, and vulnerability.
