LES DIALOGUES DES CARMELITESup
Gripping Carmelites****
Jeroen van Wijk
Twenty young women sparkle in the historic 18th century convent setting, in the masterpiece Dialogues des Carmelites.
The bald rawness of the venue, crammed with history, contribute to the oppressive atmosphere of this piece, on which the composer, Francis Poulenc, worked for many years.
This Dialogues is a gripping performance; in no small part due to the tender age of the performers and their stunning talent. Marc Krone’s sober and confrontational production hits the mark: the audience almost becomes a cast member in the sisters’ dramatic downfall. A performance which cuts through you like a knife!


This Dialogues des Carmelites was produced by Fontys Tilburg and has also been shown at De Toonzaal in 's-Hertogenbosch.
