Telephone or L'amour a troi" by Gian Carlo Menotti
The Telephone or L'amour a troi" by Gian Carlo Menotti is a short, one-act opera, sung in English (or French) that revolves around two characters. Well, I guess that should be two characters and one very prominent piece of technology. Lucy has just purchased her very own telephone. She's so enthralled with her new toy and all that it can do (connect her with all of her friends and frenemies, give her the exact time of day, etc.) that she doesn't have time to listen to her boyfriend, Ben.
"Gallantry" by Douglas Moore
"Gallantry" by Douglas Moore is also a short, one-act opera, sung in English. The stage is set as a television studio taping a typical afternoon drama. "Gallantry" - the name of the soap opera - has three main characters. Lola is a nurse preparing for another day of assisting the greatest surgeon in the world, Dr. Gregg. Though he's a handsome doctor, Lola is madly in love with her fiance, Arnold).
