Dallas Opera: “Time travel to 1794 Paris, where France’s Reign of Terror is raging. A frightened young aristocrat enters a convent, desperate to find peace from religious persecution. But as the Mother Superior warns, she has entered a house of prayer, not an escape from reality. Based on a real-life incident, 16 Carmelite nuns-each with her own private demons-must decide if they will live in fear or die together in faith as martyrs on the guillotine.”

Joyce El-Khoury captures all hearts with “radiant authority” (THE INDEPENDENT) as Sister Blanche; “Uncommonly enchanting” mezzo Stéphanie D’Oustrac (JERUSALEM POST) is Mother Marie; Leah Hawkins, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2024 Beverly Sills Artist, is the new Prioress; and the remarkable Patricia Racette gives “a masterclass in characterization” (HOUSTON PRESS) as the old Prioress.
