Kendal’s Saturday Opera programs continue.
This week Dialogues of the Carmelites by Francis Poulenc (with English subtitles) will be shown.
The opera tells the fictionalized story of a group of Carmelite nuns, the Martyrs of Compiègne, who in 1794 during the closing days of the Reign of Terror were guillotined in Paris for refusing to renounce their vocation.
The story is a little tragic and gory but the music is beautiful.
The program will be presented in the Gathering Room on Saturday, May 1, at 1:00 pm sharp.
Please note that Anna Bolena will be shown on Saturday, May 8.
