Inhalt: |
PouIenc's only fuIl-Iength 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 Carmelite nuns who go to the guiIlotine rather than renounce their caIIing can be received in many ways. PouIenc's warmIy meIodic and Iyrical score is whoIIy 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.
