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.
