DIALOGUES OF THE CARMELITES March 11-13 Francis Poulenc’s dark, intense 1957 opera—based on the persecution of nuns at the convent at Campiegne during the French Revolution—fearlessly grapples with such timeless human emotions as fear, despair and faith. “As rich as a vintage port, the opera delivers a soft and melodic score that undulates with (dark) and complex themes … as tragically current as (they are) old,” says the Metro Weekly in Washington, D.C. INDIGO GIRLS WITH THE CU SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA March 31 Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, the platinumselling duo Indigo Girls, enrich a stellar quarter-century career with a symphonic performance of their moving, melodic music, including such hits as Closer to Fine and Land of Canaan.
