La voix humaine

30 January 2025

BBC Hoddinott Hall

THEATRICAL | VIVID | BREATHTAKING

Principal Guest Conductor Jaime Martín leads us in a programme of French gems, starting with a celebration of the 150th anniversary of Ravel’s birth. His luscious, magical, enchanting and playful score to the ballet Ma Mère l’Oye is based on classic fairy tales, from Sleeping Beauty and Little Ugly to Tom Thumb and Beauty and the Beast.

After the interval, opera superstar Danielle de Niese makes her debut with BBC NOW as Elle in a semi-staged performance of Poulenc’s powerful one act opera, La voix humaine. During a phone call from her lover, grief and denial lead to outrage and despair as he calls off their relationship – the timeless theme of unrequited love playing out before our very eyes.
