This production is a musical event, as it is the first time that The Human Voice, based on a text by Jean Cocteau, has been performed at the Teatro Real. It will be performed alongside Erwartung, and with the stage design of Christof Loy (Capriccio, Rusalka, Arabella). The delicate yet visceral approach to female roles will be a true challenge for both women in two desperate situations starring Ermonela Jaho and Malin Byström. As a link between both operas, Rossy de Palma will premiere the monologue Silence, created by herself and stage director Christof Loy. A poetic invitation to explore the different states of love and heartbreak. A moment of silence and, at the same time, an impulse to break it.
