One of the most successful operas of the later decades of the 20th century, Dialogues des Carmélites will be shown at Spazju Kreattiv today, live from the Met Opera.

The opera, a rare case of a modern work that is equally esteemed by audiences and experts, focuses on a young member of an order of Carmelite nuns, the aristocratic Blanche de la Force, who must overcome a pathological timidity in order to answer her life’s calling.

The score reflects key aspects of its composer’s personality. 

Francis Poulenc was an urbane Parisian with a profound mystical dimension, and the opera addresses both the characters’ internal lives and their external realities.

Jean-François Lapointe will sing the Marquis de la Force in all upcoming performances of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, replacing Dwayne Croft.

The performance will be transmitted live today from 6pm to 9.15pm at Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Valletta. For tickets, visit www.kreattivita.org.
