About

Celebrated Swedish opera star Karin Anderson is slated to appear in an internationally-telecast production of Tannhauser. Ms. Anderson balks at the notion of working with obscure Hungarian conductor Zoltan Szanto. The much-anticipated production may never get off the ground, thanks to labor-management difficulties, intramural jealousies, and clashing egos. Amidst all this chaos, the mismatched Anderson and Szanto fall in love.

This operatic comedy swaps typical stage melodrama for a sharp, neurotic look at the fragile egos fueling a high-profile production. Behind the velvet curtains, a clash of temperaments threatens to derail the performance before the first note even sounds.
