Dialogues des Carmélites trailer (The Royal Opera)

A unique glimpse of Robert Carsen's award-winning production of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites, shot and directed by film-maker Felipe Sanguinetti.

The production assembled the largest cast ever seen on the Covent Garden stage: 14 principals, 60 Royal Opera Chorus, 26 actors and 67 volunteers from the community ensemble. 

Felipe shot the film over several days, filming backstage from the wings of the theatre, the flys, the orchestra pit and the auditorium.

***
The terror and turbulence of the French Revolution provides the backdrop for Francis Poulenc’s powerful opera of faith, bravery and redemption. Poulenc created the libretto for Dialogues des Carmélites after a play of the same name by writer Georges Bernanos and the opera was given its premiere at La Scala, Milan, in 1957. It arrived at Covent Garden the following year, with a cast that featured Dame Joan Sutherland in the role of the courageous Mother Marie of the Incarnation.

Director Robert Carsen – who staged Falstaff at the Royal Opera House in 2012 – brings his intense and daring production of Dialogues des Carmélites to The Royal Opera for the first time. The starkly beautiful staging combines modern designs and period costumes with stunning lighting effects. It throws into relief Poulenc’s radiant and exhilarating score, which draws on the resources of a large orchestra (including two harps, a piano and even a guillotine). Dialogues des Carmélites culminates in one of opera’s most devastating final scenes, as Blanche embraces death with her fellow nuns to a transcendent setting of the hymn Salve Regina hymn.
