Francis Poulenc
Francis Poulenc’s haunting 20th century opera, Dialogues of the Carmelites, portrays the true events of 18th century Carmelite nuns who explore the meaning of faith, sacrifice and martyrdom as they await execution by guillotine for refusing to abdicate their vocation during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. A recorded performance from the 2025 summer season at The Barns at Wolf Trap, led by Geoffrey McDonald.
