Johann Stuckenbruck joins Speranza Scappucci at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie to assist on Francis Poulenc’s 20th-century masterpiece Dialogues des Carmélites, a staple in major opera houses across Europe and the USA, and this is the first airing since 2004 of the ORW’s production of Dialogues des Carmélites. This marks Stuckenbruck’s first collaboration with Liège’s Music Director, Scappucci.
Based on a true story, Poulenc’s deeply personal and profoundly moving examination of faith, fear, and foreboding in the shadow of the French Revolution is a singular experience for for the cast and the audience alike. Performances run from June 21 – 29.
