Description A struggling composer of the 1920s who goes by the name of Arnold Schoenberg is given a Faustian opportunity to compose a new opera for a prestigious opera house. Nonetheless, his plans to create a new music, the first utterances of twentieth century modernism, are frustrated at every turn as, time and again, life imitates art. A satirical look at the making and unmaking of opera this century.
