The Voice – Opera Western Reserve

Opera Western Reserve is excited to present the Spring 2026 Production of Francis Poulenc’s The Voice! Composed in 1958 and originally based on the French play La Voix Humane by Jeane Cocteau, this compelling one-act opera sung in English tells the story of a woman, known only as Elle, as she engages in a final phone call with her lover who has left her for another woman. As the conversation unfolds in real time, the audience witnesses Elle’s emotional unravelling.

Join them in Penguin City’s Taproom for the show, and enjoy raffle items, a cash bar, and Suzie’s food truck. Doors open to the public at 4:00pm on Wednesday, June 10 with the event starting at 5:30pm and the performance beginning at 6:00pm.

General admission tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. VIP table packages also available: $300 for a table of eight or $160 for a table of four. VIP tables include one drink per guest and a charcuterie board from Jimmy’s Italian Specialties.
