Synopsis:
Swedish opera diva, Karin Anderson, stars in the international production of Tannhauser. Conducted by Zoltan Szanto, the production is in chaos due to problems with the theatre syndicate and the pervasive jealousy and clashing of participants’ egos… This is a trenchant satire about the world of opera and an amusing interpretation of what the European Union stands for.
