The monodramas focus on two women as they try to overcome life crises. Abandoned by her lover, the nameless heroine of Poulenc’s ‘tragédie lyrique’ is striving to free herself from her past. Seemingly calm and collected, she reveals her sorry state after a call from the unfaithful man. Glued to a telephone receiver for 40 minutes, she goes through different stages of a mental breakdown, only to give in to the old love. The unnamed woman in Schönberg’s monodrama is in an equally pitiful situation. Lost in a dark forest, she is searching for her lover. Eventually, she escapes the woods and finds her man, but their meeting is not what she expected.
