Opera in three acts Music: Francis Poulenc Text by Georges Bernanos Inspired by a true event during the French Revolution, Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites is one of the peaks of French opera. Through the destiny of Blanche de La Force, a young woman confronted by fear, doubt, and the demand for choice, the work addresses with rare power questions that still touch us closely: inner freedom, individual conscience, faith, courage, and how to stand tall in the face of political oppression. This moving production by Olivier Py, presented on major stages around the world, comes to life here with a cast of Quebec artists who shine on international stages today. A profoundly human work, whose spiritual, political, and intimate scope resonates with particular acuity in today's world. A co-production of the Théâtre des Champs Élysées - Paris, the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie - Brussels, and the Festival d’opéra de Québec CREDITS Music: Francis Poulenc Text by Georges Bernanos Musical Direction: Jean-Marie Zeitouni Staging: Olivier Py Staging Revival: Daniel Izzo Set and Costume Design: Pierre-André Weitz Lighting: Bertrand Killy Hélène Guilmette, soprano — Blanche de la Force Sylvie Brunet-Grupposo, mezzo-soprano — Madame de Croissy, Prioress of the Carmel Julie Boulianne, mezzo-soprano — Mother Marie de l'Incarnation Guylaine Girard, soprano — Madame Lidoine, the new Prioress Florie Valiquette, soprano — Sister Constance de Saint Denis Patrick Bolleire, bass — The Marquis de la Force Frédéric Antoun, tenor — The Chevalier de la Force Rachèle Tremblay, mezzo-soprano — Mother Jeanne de l'Enfant Jésus Hugo Laporte, baritone — The Jailer / Monsieur Javelinot / Thierry Marie-Andrée Mathieu, mezzo-soprano — Sister Mathilde François Piolino, tenor — The Carmel Chaplain Emmanuel Hasler, tenor — The First Commissioner Marc-André Caron, baritone — The Second Commissioner Maxence Lasserre-Engberts, baritone — Officer Choeur de l'Opéra de Québec Orchestre symphonique de Québec
