Performance of Moscow Helikon-Opera

During the Great French Revolution, the command to liquidate the monastery and disperse its inhabitants concludes with a great inner battle of commitment and wills and final choice to choose guillotine over exile…

The opera by composer Francis Poulenc and writer Georges Bernanos “Dialogues des Carmélites” (1956) deals with serious issues of fear of death, anger, God’s grace and redemption; and the free will of every individual. The opera presents extraordinarily interesting roles for soloists both in dramatic and musical development, as well as multi-layered possibilities for the director.
