Description

Tony Palmer's Film About Puccini – a dramatisation.

In Torre del Lago, by Lake Massaciuccoli, Puccini is writing “The Girl of the Golden West” when his wife Elvira accuses him of a dalliance with their maid, Doria Manfredi, a young women from town. Although the maestro is frequently unfaithful, he denies the affair; Elvira insists she's right and publicly hounds Doria. Between scenes in this domestic drama that turns tragic, we watch a Scottish company rehearse and stage “Turandot,” Puccini's las­t opera.

The film finds parallels between the two stories and suggests that in the opera, Puccini expresses love for his wife and guilt in Doria's fate. Three local gentlemen provide a spoken chorus as Puccini's score plays throughout.
