In the first part the mono-opera The Human Voice by F. Poulenc will sound, in the second the French atmosphere will envelop the Stravinsky hall with a special charm, because the singer will perform songs by Michel Legrand, Charles Aznavour, and, of course, the charming Edith Piaf. The concert program includes world hits, including "Eternal Love", "The Road of Love", "Autumn Leaves", "Parole" and many others.

The premiere of the mono-opera The Human Voice by F. Poulenc took place in March 2018 with great success. Since then, this performance has confidently entered the repertoire of "Helikon-Opera" and every time it is sold out. The mono-opera "Human Voice" is a lively, quivering and passionate reading of a woman's soul. One of the most expressive and beautiful compositions about love and loneliness Tamara embodied on the stage of "Helikon-Opera" convincingly and soulfully. There is only Woman and Music on the stage. And ... Aroma. After all, aroma is an emotion. It is a messenger of personality, an instrument of expression, an ideal vehicle for feelings.

The aroma of the performance was a perfume composition with floral-fruity notes of Italian perfumers "Number Six". A bright and at the same time relaxing aroma sounds with a cheerful combination of Grapefruit and Mandarin, a mysterious, spicy Lotus with a slight piquancy of Pepper and Black currant, framed by Vetiver and sensual Musk. A cocktail of emotions, feelings and experiences! The partner, thanks to whom the scent of the performance was created, is the FragranceLife company.

The Human Voice is a hymn to love. For me - a huge mental and vocal shock, - admitted Tamara Gverdtsiteli after the premiere. - When you come to such incredible beauty and complexity of music, you start looking for something in yourself ... And you understand that you can fall off this rock in the middle of the way. When you climb it, you think that if I look back now and cannot continue, it will be a personal drama for me. But it seems to me that we have penetrated into the music, we have achieved this connection with the notes. I try to weave Russian into absolutely French music and harmony. And I'm happy that we did it. "
