‘Sister act’:

Catholic nuns attend the Korea National Opera’s “Dialogues of the Carmelites,” at Seoul Arts Center, Sunday. Members of the Korean Carmelite order also saw the opera, which is based on a true story about 18th-century French Carmelite nuns. The production, supported by the French Culture Ministry, marked the Asian premiere of the 1957 piece by Francis Poulenc.
