Dialogues des Carmélites with the New Orleans Opera

Thursday, March 26, 2026, 7:30 PM

Location: Old Ursuline Convent Museum, 1100 Chartres St., New Orleans

Dialogues des Carmélites with the New Orleans Opera on Tuesday, March 24; Thursday, March 26; Saturday, March 28; and Tuesday, March 31. Based on the true story of Carmelite nuns executed during the French Revolution, Francis Poulenc’s opera follows the story of nuns who refuse to renounce their vows or disband and are arrested as enemies of the state and condemned to death by guillotine. The themes of conscience and courage align strongly with the Catholic cultural tradition, as well as the Catholic Cultural Center’s mission of highlighting beauty and creativity within our city and our faith community.
