Greenwich Music Festival has announced the works that it will present this spring as part of its 2011 season, to run June 6-12.

The festival feature cabaret artist and stage performer Meow Meow in Jean Cocteau’s The Indifferent Lover. The piece centers on an older woman and her younger, indifferent lover and fuses spoken word, song and dance.

The week-long event will also include three performances of a double bill which will feature Ted Huffman’s staging of chamber opera, The Human Voice, which has a score by Francis Poulenc, libretto by Jean Cocteau and will star soprano Laurie Rubin; and choreographer Zack Winokur’s new dance piece The Lady and the Unicorn, which has music by Giya Kancheli and a scenario by Cocteau.

In addition to the performances, the Festival will include a lecture on June 6 by Robert Ainsley, who will explore Cocteau’s life-long involvement with music; and Music of Cocteau’s Circle (June 7), featuring works by the artist’s peers and intimates, including Poulenc, Milhaud, Honegger, Auric, Durey, Tailleferre, and Satie.
