Production for rent: La Nonne Sanglante

In a medieval Bohemia shaken by hereditary conflicts, Rodolphe defies his father and his ancestors for the love of the rival clan's daughter, offered as a peace pledge to his own brother. But Agnes looks strangely like the ghost haunting the Moldaw castle... 

“This work resonated with my taste for romanticism and fantasy. And through them my predilection for a certain genre cinema that recovers the figures of the gothic, a horror cinema that counted in the awakening of my vocation for the theater."

David Bobée, director

“The occupation of space is always precise, the scenography rich of some unforgettable images (the appearance of the spectres) and the video usage is relevant, maintaining a fantastical climate.”

Les Echos, 05 June 2018, Philippe Venturin

“David Bobée, in his second opera production, has the talent to create a dark, Games of Thrones-like setting whose atmosphere (like Alain Blanchot's beautiful costumes and Stéphane Babi Aubert's splendid lighting) is familiar to 21st century audiences - with the help of José Gherrak's fascinating video.”

La Revue du Spectacle, 12 June 2018, Christine Duc

“The Bloody Nun finally comes out of her tomb. […] David Bobée plays up the "genre" film/opera aspect with a predominantly anthracite set design and a strong reference to the Game of Thrones series.”
