Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites in Context

Welcome! This companion site to the Lyric Opera's performance of Poulenc's opera was created by the students in Dr. Elizabeth Craft's Opera Literature class (MUSC 6680/7680, Spring 2019). Topics presented convey information about the Dialogues' origins and adaptation; historical context; and production history. A resource for further reading is also included. An electronic copy of the score is available on IMSLP.
