Crescendo
6.2
In the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre in the South of France, the cast and crew of an ambitious staging of The Marriage of Figaro is thrown off balance when troubling accusations threaten to derail the entire production. As tensions intensify, loyalties slowly fracture and deep generational disagreement emerges, throwing their sheltered opera world into a great divide.
