Israel's Claire Meghnagi performs Non monsieur mon mari from Poulenc's Les mamelles de Tirésias, in concert three of the 2009 competition.

In this Surrealist tale, Thérèse and her husband exchange genders. This aria introduces Thérèse, who is bored with being a woman and giving in to her husband's desires. She declares herself a feminist, and says she will not accept a man's authority. She wants to become a man and be a soldier, a lawyer, senator, President and doctor amongst other things. Her breasts turn into balloons and float away, and she becomes Tirésias.
