He had composed three operas during his life, including the comic opera “Les mamelles de Tiresias”（1944, Op.125）, the serious opera “Dialogues des Carmelites” (1953-1956, Op.159) as well as the contemporary opera “La voix humaine”（1959）which this thesis researches. “La voix humaine” was an one-act tragedy that derived from the original drama of Jean Cocteau（1889～1963）,who was the twentieth century’s dramatist, and also, the spokesman of “Les Six”. It was composed as a modern opera with special type and creative style combining the technological product – the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell（1847~1922） during the industrial innovation in the nineteenth century.
