English Summary/英文概要: A wedding is being prepared within the austere walls of The House of Verdi, a retirement home for dozens of elderly musicians. It is a place to grow old, to die, but also to fall in love and celebrate...
A sophisticated yet heartwarming tale of love and music, evocative of Dustin Hoffman’s film Quartet.
As Giacomo and Clara prepare for their wedding a concert in which all will participate, Ada, the eccentric maid moves like a butterfly. She flits among the retired guests, sweeping up and listening to their lonely tales of passion, music and art: Bartholomew, the ninety years old tenor, Piera, whose wrinkled hands still move with grace along the piano keyboard, Kimiko, the Japanese soprano, Luisa, the famous Annina who sang with Maria Callas in the La Traviata, Ferro, the gentleman violinist who has broken the hearts of hundreds of women. As they prepare for a gala evening in which two guests will celebrate their love, they share snippets of their incredible lives, their memories, their rancor and their regrets with Ada, confident she will never betray them. For Ada has a secret dream of her own…
The House of Verdi (Casa Verdi) is a rest home for retired musicians and artists; it was given to the city by Verdi himself in 1902.
