Dialogues des Carmélites

In the organizer's words:

Revolution meets religion: the young Blanche de la Force hopes to overcome her tormenting fear of life in the seclusion of the convent's everyday life, but the brutal reality of the French Revolution does not stop at even the thickest walls. The Revolutionary Guards dissolve the convent, the nuns are arrested - all that is left for them is a prescribed death. Blanche is the only one who manages to escape. She decides against this freedom and for the common upright death on the scaffold. Francis Poulenc tells the true story of 18 nuns as an existential psychodrama in atmospherically dense sounds.
