Inhalt: |
Poulenc's only fuIl-length opera is firmIy rooted in the post World War Il era. Based on the historicaI events of the time of the French RevoIution, this story of a community of CarmeIite nuns who go to the guilIotine rather than renounce their caIling can be received in many ways. PouIenc's warmly meIodic and lyricaI score is wholly dramatic and gripping, and Joan Sutherland, recreating the roIe she sang at the opera's British premiere in 1958, sings the second prioress with commanding moderation. This production serves the inspiration of PouIenc in every important particular styIe, economy and theatrical force.
