★ 7.0

Overview

Adam Plachetka, a native of Prague, is one of the most successful bass-baritones in the world today. It is incredible what artistic achievements he has already accomplished at the age of 33. As a boy, he dreamed of a career as a hockey player, and at the conservatory he initially considered the world of musicals, but eventually he devoted himself fully to opera singing and prepared himself for a journey into the world of opera. The documentary follows him not only during his artistic career, but also in his private life, in rare moments with his family.

Enrico Caruso: A Voice for the Ages

Oct 2, 2022

Born in 1873 in a poor neighbourhood in Naples, Enrico Caruso conquered the world with his singing voice. At the age of 27 he got a contract at the Scala in Milan, and his already considerable popularity skyrocketed thanks to the invention of the gramophone. He sold millions of records, and garnered international acclaim. In 1903 he moved to New York to perform at the prestigious Metropolitan Opera, in the role of Radames. But his riches and fame attracted the attention of the Mafia, who started blackmailing him. He felt trapped by his fame and died at just 48 years old. Biographer Francesco Canessa, the music critic Jürgen Kesting and the composer Micha Hamel explain the ups and downs of the man behind the timeless Italian voice.

The young poet Hoffmann, accompanied by Nicklausse, his alter ego and confidant, is in a tavern next to the theatre where Mozart's Don Giovanni is being performed. During the opera's intermission, some diners arrive at the bar who, upon seeing the poet, encourage him to sing and tell them the story of his famous love affairs. Hoffmann finally gives in and shares with them the stories of Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta. They, absorbed in the poet's stories, remain in the tavern, forgetting about the opera performance.
