With his "Dialogues des Carmélites", premiered in Milan in 1957, the French composer Francis Poulenc switched sides. At first it seems only a step behind the walls of the cloister: the noise of the world is heard only dimly here, and outside events are reflected merely in “conversations of the Carmelite nuns”. However, this also entails a change of perspective: Poulenc does not give us a grand historical tableau, preferring to describe the events as the moving story of his main protagonist Blanche. In doing so, he asks her, and the audience, the existential question: what do we do when the world around us comes unhinged?
