“Opera Reviews § Dialogues Des Carmélites”, Gwern2019-02-02 (literary criticism, opera, personal; similar)⁠:

A compilation of opera reviews since 2019.

Dramatic opera on the martyrdom of a convent of nuns during the French Revolution. Starkly minimalist staging. Invokes many great themes, but does not really live up to them or explore them to any satisfying depth.
