Set amid the turmoil of the French Revolution, Dialogues of the Carmelites tells the haunting story of Blanche de la Force, a young woman torn by fear and faith. Seeking refuge in a Carmelite convent, she finds unexpected courage through the unwavering devotion of her fellow nuns. In a powerful act of faith and solidarity, the nuns face martyrdom together, singing to their final breaths. Poulenc’s emotionally charged opera is a profound testament to conviction, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Dialogues of the Carmelites

The Barns At Wolf Trap

On the stage is a two-story house. From one angle, it’s mucked out after a flood. From another, it’s a new development wrapped in Tyvek.

James Joyce’s Ulysses has fascinated, perplexed, scandalized, and/or defeated readers for over a century. Building on a rich history of staging modernist works—Gatz, The Sound and the Fury, The Select (The Sun Also Rises)—Elevator Repair Service (ERS) takes on this Mount Everest of twentieth-century literature in their Fisher Center debut.

Fisher Center at Bard

It’s 1318 and six Franciscan friars are caught between the purity of their beliefs and a Pope who likes stuff. The it-shay is about to hit the an-fay.

Clubbed Thumb

From the Academy Award-winning writer of Moonlight, comes this exhilarating story about Pharus, a young, queer student leading the renowned choir at his elite, all-boys prep school. Can a rigid institution that prides itself on producing “strong, ethical black men” contain Pharus, who is a quiet rebel at his core? Or can Pharus inspire the very nature of the school to shift forever? Identity and community clash in this Tony-nominated hit. Filled with rousing music and soul-stirring dance, this play explores all that it means to march to your own drum.
