For the first Temple Song of 2017, one of the finest mezzo-sopranos of her generation, performs for the first time at Middle Temple Hall. Her programme includes Haydn's captivating cantata Arianna a Naxos and the delightful Chants Populaires of Ravel. The second half is devoted to a semi-staged performance of Poulenc's one act drama for voice and piano, La Voix Humaine (The Human Voice). In Jean Cocteau's text we see and hear a woman's last telephone conversation with her lover. This will be a operatic experience up-close in the intimate surroundings of Middle Temple Hall. Sung with piano accompaniment, this will be a performance not to be missed.

Tickets include an interval drink.
