Synopsis: At the Paris Opera, Backstage, artists and crew prepare to raise the curtain on a new season with Schönberg’s Moses and Aaron. But the announcement of a strike and arrival of a bull in a supporting role complicate matters. At the same time, a promising young Russian singer begins at the Opera’s Academy. In the hallways of Opera Bastille, his destiny will cross paths with that of Bryn Terfel, one of the greatest voices of his time...
In turn ironic, light-hearted and cruel, encompassing music and ballet, the Paris Opera turns the spotlight on great passions.
