Before Texting Ruined Everything

Met Bronwen Forbay (sopraan), Christiaan Bester (bas), Jose Dias (klavier)

In die opera The Telephone verander die komponis Gian Carlo Menotti ’n eenvoudige sitkamer in ’n komiese slagveld waar intimiteit voortdurend onderbreek word. Gesprekke ontspoor, tydsberekening misluk en verbinding glip net buite bereik. Onder die humor skuil die vraag: Wie luister werklik in ’n wêreld van eindelose geraas?

With Bronwen Forbay (soprano), Christiaan Bester (baritone), Jose Dias (piano)

In the chamber opera The Telephone, Gian Carlo Menotti transforms a simple living room into a comic battlefield where intimacy is constantly interrupted. Conversations derail, timing collapses and connection slips just out of reach. Beneath the wit lingers a quiet question: in a world of endless chatter, who is truly listening?
