Poulenc: Dialogues des Carm?lites 2004 Blu-ray When Canadian opera director Robert Carsen presented his interpretation of Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carm?lites at the Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam in 2001, not only the press and audience were enthusiastic, but Riccardo Muti, then still head of La Scala in Milan, also took notice. He brought the production to La Scala in 2004 and conducted it himself. Soprano Dagmar Schellenberger, who made her debut at La Scala in the role of the young aristocrat Blanche, soprano Laura Aikin, who brings her friend Constance to the stage with intense vocal and dramatic intensity, and the legendary Anja Silja, one of the greatest singing actresses of our time, as Madame de Croissy form the core of an outstanding cast.
