The opera The Telephone - or L´amour a trois was written in 1952 and tells of the trouble Ben gets in while trying to propose to his girlfriend Lucy, since she is completely occupied by her phone. This funny interaction is just as relevant, if not more in our current social media climate. Therefore the libretto has been translated and localized to the modern day, where Lucy is now an influencer. The performance takes around 25 minutes.
