Tonight's Live from the Met is Poulenc's tragic opera in which the hopes and fears of a group of nuns is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. In one of the most haunting of opera endings, the nuns sing the Salve Regina as they're led to the guillotine, each voice cutting out in turn as the blade falls. A stellar cast includes Patricia Racette as Madame Lidoine and Felicity Palmer as Madame de Croissy.

Presented by Margaret Juntwait and Ira Siff.
