In the Shadow of the Stars
1991, English. Directed by Allie Light & Irving Saraf.
A behind-the-scenes look into the world of grand opera.
A hilarious and affectionate look at the path to stardom inside the competitive world of opera. Filmmakers Allie Light and Irving Saraf relegate the divas to the background and focus on a limelight-craving group of "choristers" -- the seldom-noticed singers who stand behind the soloists portraying peasants, soldiers and slaves.
