They had the nuns on stage singing, and then as they were being executed, they walked off stage and a big "CHOP!" sound was made.
That might evenb be how Poulenc wanted it done, I don't know, sicne that's the only performance I ever saw.
But it was great.
And the stage had almost no sets at all - just a desk, a bed, a door, and one or two other things that were brought down from above as they were needed. Nothing sat on the stage at all - it was all attached to wires.
Very austere, like an Abbey (abby? Abbie?)
