Bertrand de Billy conducts Dialogues des Carmélites at the Metropolitan Opera New York

Maestro Bertrand de Billy conducts John Dexter’s striking and timeless staging of Poulenc’s devastating tragedy. With soprano Ailyn Pérez as the young woman at the center of the harrowing, quasi-historical tale of an order of Carmelite nuns martyred in Paris during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. The remarkable cast also features soprano Sabine Devieilhe in her Met debut as Blanche’s fellow novice Constance, soprano Christine Goerke as the unshakeable Madame Lidoine, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as Mère Marie, and mezzo-soprano Alice Coote in her role debut as Madame de Croissy.
