80 - Fuoco sacro – A Search for the Sacred Fire of Song

Opera nights can be thrilling – they can be boring. Sometimes they are life-changing. Anyone who saw Callas still talks about her today. And they still exist: singers who pierce our hearts. This film presents three of them, explores what they do, how they do it and what it does to us: Ermonela Jaho, Barbara Hannigan and Asmik Grigorian. Like Stanislavski we observe them: how do they spend the day before an opening night? What does their dressing room look like? What happens before the show?
