Conceived and written by Jean Cocteau with a score by Francis Poulenc, this opera is the anguished story of an emotional woman on the phone desperately trying to convince her lover not to leave her. Francois Poulenc's extraordinary music superbly expresses her tension, suffering and suddenly changing moods. Noted director and producer Pierre Jourdan has been staging opera since 1968. In 1988, he founded the Théâtre Français de la Musique and the association Pour le Théâtre Impérial in the Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne. Every year, he directs and produces different lyric works with the mission to rediscover the French musical and lyrical repertoire from the post-baroque to today and to restore an authentic French style to the singers and the orchestras which accompany them. These productions have been triumphantly welcomed by the public and critics alike.
