Dialogues des Carmélites Poulenc

The world-renowned creative team of French director Vincent Boussard make their debut at the Latvian National Opera with Francis Poulenc’s fervently written opera Dialogues of the Carmelites (1956) which tells the tale of sixteen Carmelite nuns who were brutally guillotined during the French Revolution in 1794. The story of the Martyrs of Compiègne was popularised in the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the German writer Gertrud von Le Fort’s novel Song at the Scaffold (Die Letzte am Schafott). The novice Blanche, a scared and frail teenage
girl, became the fictional heroine of the novel, and later also of Poulenc’s opera. Blanche’s fate forced her to stare into the eyes of a terrifying and hopeless world, and to try and find a way out of the trap created by her own fears.

French director Vincent Boussard describes the production: “Dialogues des Carmélites is a piece which requires the viewer to read between the lines. It is a long and, at times, pitiless meditation on death which moves from fear to liberation, from suicide to martyrdom, and so on.“ Under his direction this historically significant opera come to life on the Latvian National Opera’s stage for the first time.

Pasaulslavenā franču režisora ​​Vincenta Boussard radošā komanda debitē Latvijas Nacionālajā operā ar Fransisa Pulena dedzīgi uzrakstīto operu Karmelītu dialogi (1956), kas stāsta par sešpadsmit karmelītu mūķenēm, kuras tika brutāli giljotinētas Francijas revolūcijas laikā 1794. Stāsts par Kompjēnas mocekļiem tika popularizēts 20. gadsimta sākumā, pateicoties vācu rakstnieces Ģertrūdas fon Le Fortas romānam Dziesma pie ešafota ( Die Letzte am Schafott ). Iesācēja Blanša, nobijusies un trausla pusaudze
meitene, kļuva par izdomātu romāna, vēlāk arī Pulenka operas varoni. Blanšas liktenis piespieda viņu skatīties acīs šausminošajai un bezcerīgajai pasaulei un mēģināt atrast izeju no slazdiem, ko radīja viņas pašas bailes.

Franču režisors Vincents Boussard raksturo iestudējumu: “ Dialogues des Carmélites ir skaņdarbs, kurā skatītājam ir jālasa starp rindām. Tā ir ilga un brīžiem nežēlīga meditācija par nāvi, kas virzās no bailēm uz atbrīvošanos, no pašnāvības uz moceklību un tā tālāk.“ Viņa vadībā šī vēsturiski nozīmīgā opera pirmo reizi atdzīvojas uz Latvijas Nacionālās operas skatuves. .
