Marble City Opera is set to present an immersive, site-specific production of “The Human Voice.”

The production is set to be presented on on April 3, 4, and 5, 2025 at the Historic Westwood in Knoxville, Tennessee.

“The Human Voice” was composed by Francis Poulenc in 1958 and is a one-act monodrama based on a play by Jean Cocteau.

Soprano Kathryn Frady will sing the part of Elle, accompanied by Brandon Coffer on piano. Marya Barry will be the stage director for the production.

When Frady performed the role in 2017 she was praised with critics stating, “Kathryn Frady drew the audience deeply in as voyeurs into her psychological dilemma in The Human Voice. Frady’s brilliance as a soprano capable of riveting the audience’s attention—in vocal depth, in lyrical beauty, and in a marvelously conceived ebb and flow of posture and attitude—was as rewarding as it gets in theatre.”
