The Telephone/The Human Voice: "Comedy or Tragedy: It All Depends on Who's Calling!"

In these two one-act operas, spend an evening listening in on Lucy's most private conversations, starting wiht her escapades in Menotti's "The Telephone", while Ben tries to get her attention to ask her a very important question; and then during Poulenc's "The Human Voice" as she plunges into despair on the telephone with her former lover the night before he is to be married.
