<p>One of the most successful operas of the 20th century, Dialogues des Carm&eacute;lites is a rare, modern work that is equally esteemed by audiences and experts alike. The opera focuses on a young member of an order of Carm&eacute;lite nuns, the aristocratic Blanche de la Force, who must overcome a pathological timidity in order to answer her life&rsquo;s calling. The score reflects the genius of Francis Poulenc with a setting that takes place between 1789 and 1794 in Paris and in the town of Compi&egrave;gne in northeastern France. Its historical basis is the martyrdom of a group of 16 Carm&eacute;lite nuns and lay sisters from Compi&egrave;gne, who chose to offer themselves as victims for the restoration of peace to France during the Revolution.</p>=0D=0A=
