Liverpool, 1956. Bud es un muchacho de doce años, sensible, tímido e introvertido que pertenece a una familia de clase trabajadora. La estrecha relación que mantiene con su madre y, especialmente, su pasión por el cine, le ayudan a afrontar el ambiente represor y asfixiante del colegio.

Antonio Salieri es el músico más destacado de la corte del Emperador José II de Austria. Entregado completamente a la música, le promete a Dios humildad y castidad si, a cambio, conserva sus extraordinarias dotes musicales. Pero, después de la llegada a la corte de un joven llamado Wolfang Amadeus Mozart, Salieri queda relegado a un segundo plano. Irritado por la pérdida de protagonismo, hará todo lo posible para arruinar la carrera del joven músico. Mientras tanto, Mozart, ajeno a las maquinaciones de Salieri, sorprende a todos con su genialidad como músico, pero también con sus excentricidades.

Francis Poulenc's only full-length opera is firmly rooted in the post World War II era. Based on the historical events of the time of the French Revolution, this story of a community of Carmelite nuns who go to the guillotine rather than renounce their calling can be received in many ways. Poulenc's warmly melodic and lyrical score is wholly dramatic and gripping, and Dame Joan Sutherland, recreating the role she sang at the opera's British premiere in 1958, sings the second prioress with commanding moderation. This production serves the inspiration of Poulenc in every important particular of style, economy and theatrical force. Richard Bonynge conducts the Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra. Sung in English.
