About The Seven Deadly Sins / The Human Voice

The Seven Deadly Sins follows Anna as she journeys through different cities in pursuit of success, encountering temptation and moral challenges along the way. Combining sharp social commentary with Kurt Weill's distinctive score, the work remains one of the most fascinating collaborations between Weill and Bertolt Brecht.

In contrast, The Human Voice offers an intensely personal portrait of heartbreak. Centred around a woman speaking on the telephone to a departing lover, Francis Poulenc's acclaimed opera captures loneliness, hope and despair with extraordinary emotional depth.

Together, these two works create a compelling evening that explores the complexities of human relationships and the choices people make in pursuit of happiness, love and fulfilment.

Rich with dramatic storytelling and exceptional music, The Seven Deadly Sins / The Human Voice offers a thought-provoking night at one of London's most iconic opera venues. Book your tickets today.
