A Bloodborne Opera is set as a prequel to the 2015 hit videogame Bloodborne by FromSoftware, designed to celebrate it’s 10 year anniversary in 2025, translated to educate about Edinburgh’s bloody history as an immersive, theatre-of-cruelty inspired dredge through Edinburgh’s South Bridge Vaults.
The production sees to set the scene for the complicated storyline we learn through the videogame, while also opening up Bloodborne’s appeal to a wider target audience. It’s story follows a group of ambitious anatomists who will do whatever it takes to further their insight in the name of science, and the madness that comes with such forbidden knowledge.
