Puccini
Vienna, 1924. Puccini is invited in the Austrian capital to attend a concert in his honor. In spite of his worldwide fame, Puccini is dissatisfied with his score for Turandot. This creative impasse is aggravated by the anxiety caused by a throat condition that doctors are unable to cure. In this challenging moment of his life, Puccini meets a young journalist who questions him and directs him towards the original sources of his vocation. Thus, the series depicts the most significant chapters in the life of the great Tuscan musician, from the Bohemian years spent in Milan while studying at the conservatory to his first national successes, to international fame, and, finally, to his death.
