O Grande Caruso
Maria Selka
Traça vagamente a vida do tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921). Ele ama Musetta, em sua cidade natal, Nápoles, e depois Dorothy, filha de um dos patronos do Metropolitan Opera. Caruso é inaceitável para os pais de ambas as mulheres: para uma, porque canta; para Dorothy, porque ele é um camponês. Para os patrícios de Nova York, Caruso é baixo, peito largo, barulhento, emotivo, não refinado. Sua apreciação vem lentamente. O filme retrata o lamento de Caruso de que "o homem não tem voz, a voz tem o homem": ele não pode estar nos lugares que quer, porque deve estar em outro lugar cantando, inclusive no dia da morte de sua mãe. Ao longo do filme, Mario Lanza e estrelas do Met cantam, inclusive com o 'menino' Luciano Pavarotti.

Vera Starschenska, Sängerin
The Last Waltz
Count Dimitri is sentenced to death for hitting Prince Paul who was trying to steal a kiss from Countess Vera. Prince Paul pardons him because of a young girl who knew how to conquer his heart at the right time.
Frasquita
Frasquita
Czechoslovakian opera star Jarmila Novotna plays the title role in the Austrian tunefest Frasquita. Based on a Franz Lehar operetta, the story is the usual frothy nonsense. Dolly (Charlotte Daudert) is engaged to marry Hyppolit (Heinz Ruhmann), but she's really in love with Harold (Hans Heinz-Bollman). Hyppolit is likewise enamored of another, namely Frasquita (Jarmila Novotna). Alas, Dolly and Hyppolit must go through with the wedding, despite the dictates of their hearts. That there's a happy ending all the same comes as a surprise only to the characters on the screen.
Skřivánčí píseň
The Night of the Great Love
Frau Thormaelen
The story, set in Constantinople, of a young man who falls in love with a woman much older than he is, and her daughter falls in love with him also. An American critic was vastly impressed by the day-and-night locale shots, and wrote that the film-maker had discarded and soft-pedaled the soft and sentimental in favor of the realistic and logical.
The Bartered Bride
Marie
Bohemia in the 19th century, stage-coach driver Hans, loves the mayor's daughter Marie, but she is promised Wenzel, the son of another wealthy farmer. Marie refuses to marry Wenzel because of Hans, but the marriage arranger tries to "buy" Marie from Hans. But when Wenzel tells Hans, that he doesn't want to marry Marie, either, because he loves circus director Brummel's daughter, Hans decides to accept the offer of money for not interferring in the relations of Hans and Marie. But when Marie hears about this, she doesn't want to see Hans again.
The Beggar Student
Laura
First of several filmed versions of a popular period operetta, in which an early 18th century noblewoman in Poland falls in love with a revolutionary student activist.
Fire in the Opera House
Primadonna
It begins with a Tannhäuser performance and ends with the premiere of The Tales of Hoffmann. In between a young ingénue cast in her first big role, the Hoffmann rehearsals, the theatre director and his stage director exchanging cynicisms, a budding love affair. Gründgens at his most repulsive, trying to woo both lovers. And a hair-raising finale. Add to this some snappy dialogue and "pre-code" scenes that make you sit up and stare.
