  • I don't know how can you joke about the unjust beheading of 17 women. I have finished watching the 1960 film (based on the novel) just 30 minutes ago and it was great.

    Joking about everything doesn't leave you mental clarity to appreciate things higher than you.

  • It's one of the best operas! The story is absolutely shocking and the last scene is a killer!

    The background of the opera is also a difficult one. The libretist was dying of cancer when he wrote the libreto and Poulenc's boyfriend was dying while he was composing this masterpiece. Needless to say all the nuns in the opera die and Poulen'c boyfriend died shortly after the opera was finished....

    If you see a good production it's worth all the money!

  • @luischavezhartley It brought tears to my eyes...and i couldn't understand a word! I just finished reading " Song at the Scaffold" for the umpteenth time!

  • Check out the Met's finale of Dialogue with Jessye Norman.

    Makes me tear up every time I watch it, which is rather unusual for me.

  • Sound quality could be a little better (granted it's a stage performance), but awesome.

  • what are u sorry about?

  • Jesus Christ, calm down. The guy probably didn't even get your response.

  • Its an very beautiful opera indeed. The simple (but difficult) orcherstration, the few man, the nuns, the woman, the sensational end. It is very moving. I was some years ago in Rockamadour in France and there we met for the first time this Francis Poulenc, because a mainstreet at the chapell was called his name. I became curious and so we found this most beautiful Dialoque des Carmelites. So modern, so traditional, so original, so sereen. A great surprise for me.

  • sorry but Poulenc wrote also

    Les Mamelles de Tirésias

    and

    La Voix Humaine

  • I saw "Les mamelles de Tiresias" once in a small production years ago. I also saw the Lyric's "Dialogue" this season (I was familiar with it from a recording, but it was my first time to see it produced; I found it a bit tiresome). Thanks for the comment.
