Francis Poulenc’s opera stands as a pillar of 20th-century French lyric theatre. This production places students in the demanding solo roles under the musical direction of Emmanuel Olivier, in a staging inspired by Yves Coudray. The story follows a religious community swept up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, exploring fear, faith and the need for redemption. Intimate choral textures, stark dramatic contrast and a restrained yet intense staging aim to immerse listeners in the women’s communal life and moral trials.
