Synopsis
A mix of Amadeus, Diva, Dangerous Liaisons and A Room with a View, The Music Teacher is an Operatic delight. A battle of good and evil for the soul and voice of an Opera singing protege (Anne Roussel).
Set against the backdrop of the romantic, opulent world of Grand Opera in the fading light of Europe on the brink of World War I, this sumptuous film features the cream of popular arias from Verdi (La Traviata, Rigoletto), Mozart (Don Giovanni), Offenbach (Tales of Hoffman), Puccini (Tosca) and the haunting music of Mahler caressing the images throughout.
