Through three short operas, this show reveals how inner emotional worlds alone can sustain powerful theatre performances.
At its core is Francis Poulenc’s The Human Voice, a groundbreaking monodrama that strips opera back to a single voice and a final phone call with a lost lover—raw, exposed, and devastatingly human.
With no grand sets or spectacle, Triple Bill places the voice and the mind at the centre. This is opera at its most intimate - where emotional truth takes the stage.
Repertoire:
✨Francis Poulenc: The Human Voice— a devastating portrait of heartbreak
✨Iain Bell: Comfort Starving — a mono-opera for tenor centred on male teenage anorexia (Australian premiere)
✨Jake Heggie: Facing Forward / Looking Back - a mother-daughter reflect on the past while seeking understanding in the present (Australian Premiere)
Artists:
Katie Stenzel - soprano
Sabrina Wall - soprano
Liam Jackson - tenor
Naomi Flatman - mezzo
Jennifer Enchelmeir - piano
