About This Event
At the murderous height of the French Revolution, Blanche de la Force flees the violence on Paris’s streets and enters the convent. But horror pursues her, and she is forced to confront her fears. Can she find the courage to live – or die? A 20th-century masterpiece, Francis Poulenc’s opera Dialogues of the Carmelites is a devastatingly powerful portrait of human courage, faith and community. Robin Ticciati conducts an all-star cast including Sally Matthews and Golda Schultz in this concert-staging fresh from the Glyndebourne Festival.
