Attend an extraordinary opera performance with « Dialogues des Carmélites », a powerful opera by Francis Poulenc, brought to life here by the radical, contemporary vision of playwright Tiphaine Raffier.
Inspired by a tragic true story during the French Revolution, this work gives voice to Blanche de la Force, a young aristocrat lost between doubts and convictions, and to a community of nuns walking together towards their destiny.
On stage, the dramatic intensity is total. Tiphaine Raffier’s staging is uncluttered, focusing on raw emotion and collective destiny. No perfect heroine, but a woman torn apart, confronting her fears in a world in turmoil. The tension mounts right up to the shattering finale, when the voices rise one last time before silence.
A rare and essential opera, at once spiritual, historical and profoundly human, it takes you on a journey of reflection on courage, faith and free will. A great moment of musical theater, where the beauty of the music is combined with the power of the story.
Don’t miss this gripping work: book now for an unforgettable operatic experience.
