In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of French-Canadian soprano Pierrette Alarie (November 9, 1921 - July 10, 2011), here is a Radio-Canada telecast from December 3, 1959 of the one-act opera by Francis Poulenc. Jean-Marie Beaudet is the conductor. This was the North American premiere of the work. Link to my Pierrette Alarie playlist:
