Love and Death in Dialogues des Carmélites

Thumbnail

By Adam Hincks, S.J.Photo: Michael Cooper“I have left behind illusion,” I said to myself. “Henceforth I live in a world of three dimensions – with the aid of my five senses.” I have since learned that there is no such world; but then, as the car turned out of sight of the house, I thought it took no finding, but lay all about me at the end of the avenue.—Evelyn Waugh’s Charles Ryder A couple of weeks ago, a Jesuit companion and I were able to get rush tickets to see the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Francis Poulenc’sDialogues of the Carmelites

Thumbnail
