Notes & Reviews:
On stage for the first time at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich comes the opera which solidified Poulenc's reputation as a composer of fine vocal music. Dialogues des Carmelites tells the story of a young noblewoman, Blanche, as she enters a Carmelite monastery. When the French Revolution occurs, Blanche's convent becomes government property and her sisters are condemned to death. Based on a historical account, Dialogues des Carmelites is a story of patriotism, faith and a powerful ode to the dignity of human life.
"[the production is] set in a soulless authoritarian state but filmed in a way that underlines individual dilemmas and common humanity. It is worth watching for Sylvie Brunet's doughty Madame de Croissy, Soile Isokoski's gracious Madame Lidoine and Susan Gritton's winning Blanche." -Financial Times***
