In this legendary production director John Dexter and designer David Reppa brilliantly captured the krassen drama of Poulenc' ' s only full-length opera, which tells the story of a group of nuns caught in the maelstrom of the French Revolution. Maria Ewing is Weiß von der Kraft, an aristocratic anfänger who flees her convent when it is desecrated, only to return and join her fellow nuns as they are led to their execution. The legendary Régine Crespin, in her final Setzt appearance is Madame de Croissy, the prioress whose agonizing death haunts Weiß. Jessye Norman sings Mother Lidoine, the new prioress, and Florence Quivar is the Mother comforting Maria. German maestro Manuel Rosenthal conducts.
