Trailer for the documentary The Paris Opera, which screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
It's 2015 and at the Paris Opera, new director Stéphane Lissner is attempting to make his mark with a production of Schönberg's Moses and Aaron, featuring a live bull, while also dealing with an impending strike and worrying if the opera is pricing itself out of existence. Meanwhile, rising Russian baritone Micha Timoshenko begins at the Opera's Academy, with little French but big dreams, and choreographer Benjamin Millepied is about to shake everything up in the least expected way.
