Audience reaction
FABULOUS Poulenc double bill @glyndebourne. What joyous entertainment, so well done in Laurent Pelly’s production. Stephanie D’Oustrac superb in La voix humaine, and the whole cast of Tirésias was outstanding.

If you see one thing this summer get to @glyndebourne for their brilliant Poulenc double bill – the visually riotous but Gallicly precise Tirésias preceded by powerfully tragic La Voix humaine directed by Laurent Pelly – magnificent! #NoOrdinaryOpera
