The fate and eventual martyrdom of the 16 Carmelite nuns led by a young novice, Blanche de la Force (Anne-Sophie Schmidt), is powerfully portrayed in this minimalist production directed by Marthe Keller."--SBS website Notes Title from resource description page (viewed Feb. 21, 2014) Credits Director of photography, Jacques Audrain ; editor, Arnaud Petitet ; stage director, Marthe Keller ; set design, Jean-Pierre Capeyron Performer Anne-Sophie Schmidt (Blanche de la Force), Hedwig Fassbender (Mere Marie), Patricia Petibon (Constance), Didier Henry (Le Marquis de la Force), Laurence Dale (Le chevalier de la Force), Nadine Denize (Madame de Croissy), Valerie Millot (Madame Lidoine) ; Jan Latham-Koenig, conductor ; Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg ; Choeurs de l'Opéra national du Rhin Event Filmed 1999 Opéra national du Rhin Notes Sung in French with subtitles in English Subject Carmelite Nuns -- France -- Compiègne -- Drama Carmel de Compiègne -- Drama Carmel de Compiègne Carmelite Nuns Operas.
