The Charing Cross Theatre will present two one-act operas as a double bill, starring soprano Katherine Mcindoe. Mcindoe will perform The Seven Deadly Sins and The Human Voice in rep this September.
Charing Cross Theatre has announced the new programming, with a limited run from 11-19 September, will explore female identity, ambition and self-betrayal. The Seven Deadly Sins follows Anna is sent on a seven-year odyssey through the cities of America. Complementing this is The Human Voice, in which a woman has a final harrowing phone call with her former lover.
Presented together, these two works trace a woman truly pushed to her limits. Both also pair celebrated composers with extraordinary literary collaborators: Kurt Weill with Bertolt Brecht, and Francis Poulenc with Jean Cocteau.
Director Alejandro Bonatto said: “Anna (The Seven Deadly Sins) and Elle (The Human Voice) read almost as two moments in a single woman’s life. Seen together, the two works form one continuous psychological portrait of a woman pushed to her limits.”
Bonatto is joined on the creative team by musical directors Adrian Salinero for The Seven Deadly Sins and Elspeth Wilkes for The Human Voice.
