Likely to turn off moviegoers resistant to the upscale art form while failing to satisfy opera's true devotees.
Full reviewBritish romantic comedy about Adam (the great Richard E. Grant, Withnail & I), a rich industrialist and frustrated opera singer who aspires to live in a more cultured world.
Spurred on by jibes that he’s little more than a suit living the capitalist’s dream, he decides to throw an opera - Mozart's Cosi fan tutti, no less - at his lavish country retreat. Assembling a team of opera singers and musicians, including a bevy of beautiful young women, Adam hopes to display his cultural nous, his own singing voice and also win the hand of a female conductor (actress and soprano Sarah Brightman).
Likely to turn off moviegoers resistant to the upscale art form while failing to satisfy opera's true devotees.
Full reviewRichard E Grant's over-the-top performance as an opera-singing millionaire just about saves this silly romcom.
Full reviewAs a sort of primer for people who think they don’t like opera First Night works quite well.
