** Some stagings make the ending more ambiguous or an outright DownerEnding. In the 2019 Opera for Everyone staging in Saint-Petersburg, for example, Lionel is DraggedOffToHell (the libretto doesn't say anything definite about his posthumous fate), and even Joan's future isn't fully certain since the last time we see her, an angel and a demon are battling over her soul.
