Hello? It’s me...
La Voix Humaine - Icelandic Opera
February 9, 20, 12, 26, March 4 I Harpa, Austurbakki 2 I Admission: 5.500 ISK
Francis Poulenc’s “La Voix Humanie” (The Human Voice) de-
scribes a woman’s last phone call to the lover who has betrayed
her. It’s a one-act opera that’s only 40 minutes—the perfect
length for someone who wants to get into opera, but doesn’t
want to sit for four-plus hours. The music itself is recitative,
so don’t go into it expecting Puccini-esque arias or Wagnerian
drama. It’s also quite modern, full of unresolved dissonance and
chromatic progressions. Such ambiguous tonality can some-
times be disarming or even uncomfortable, but shouldn’t it be?
I mean, when did a final phone call to your ex-lover ever make
sense? HJC
Reverie at Mengi
Ólöf Arnalds & Skúli Sverrisson
February 80 I 21:00 I Mengi, Óðinsgata 2 I Admission: 2.000 ISK
If you want to escape the chaos that has been 2017 (and it’s only
February!), turn off the news for the night and head down to
Mengi, Reykjavik’s minimalist, calm and cerebral concert space.
On February 18 they will be hosting a not-to-be-missed per-
formance by singer-songwriter Ólöf Arnalds, accompanied by
guitarist and art director Skúli Sverrisson. Her chilled vibes and
captivating voice will make you forget the woes of the outside
world. This is escapism in its highest form. JS
