The tragic opera in three acts by Francis Poulenc, premiered in 1957 at La Scala in Milan, is one of the most important works of musical theater of the 20th century. Based on the true story of the Carmelites of Compiègne, "Dialogues des Carmélites" tells of social abysses and the importance of the basic values ​​of democratic coexistence - and culminates in a finale that is musically one of the most emotional that opera has to offer.

Dialogues des Carmélites

Staatstheater Braunschweig

The new production of the opera "Koma" by Georg Friedrich Haas is the next contemporary work at the Braunschweig State Theater, following "Dead Man Walking", "Das große Heft", "Dog Days", "Hanjo" and "Angels in America", among others, and promises to be another high point in the exploration of new forms of musical theater. Under the musical direction of Alexis Agrafiotis and in a production by artistic director Dagmar Schlingmann, the audience will not sit in the auditorium, but on the stage. The audience capacity in the main hall of the State Theater is therefore limited to 180 per performance. In addition, parts of the performance will take place in total darkness, as intended by the composer.
