| Summary |
"A drama within a drama - witness two stories... the making of an opera and the opera itself. An exciting and revealing look into the world of opera, this film follows the day to day process of staging a grand opera during a 21-day rehearsal period. The Opera is Giuseppe Verdi's "La Forza del Destino," a new production from the Canadian Opera Company with a world-renowned cast. Combining behind-the-scenes footage with flash-forwards to the final performance, we go from the music and staging rehearsals to the final spectacular production"--Container. |
