IMDb plot summary: The opera tells a fictionalised version of the story of the Martyrs of Compiègne, Carmelite nuns who, in 1794 during the closing days of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, were guillotined in Paris for refusing to renounce their vocation.
Directed by Gary Halvorson. Starring Isabel Leonard, Adrianne Pieczonka, Erin Morley, and Karen Cargill.
The music in this is nice, and there are some very striking visuals with the set and costume design. The story itself is better in concept than in execution, and it does make me interested to see other versions of this story.
