    A romp through the rather interesting mind of stage and film director Werner Schroeter

    This film is a montage of images of new opera stagings, of remembrances, of discussions, and of the creative impulse behind what makes a singer sing. It's also a very German film, shot partly on location in a French Abbey, with American singers, Italian, French, and German singers, and a good deal of whimsy.

    If you like opera, or even if you don't, it's a terrific film.
