Poulenc's final opera, is based on Jean Cocteau's play 'La Voix Humaine.' The opera is the last conversation between a young woman and her lover, who is abandoning her. Through her little lies, and his thunderous lies, the truth of their relationship becomes clear. It is an overwhelming account of love, and love's ending.
