This is Dialogues of the Carmelites by Poulenc in case anyone happens to know it. The music really isn't that bad. The orchestration isn't great, it all sounds the same until the final scene, and the plot is very dry. The ending though is really really good and I don't recommend anyone watches it except for the final scene. However, in case anyone happens to be interested in opera and classical music and wants to look it up, I should warn you that it could be considered very graphic depending on how good the staging is.

I love Puccini too. That particular production just sucked as singers are stiff like boards
