Shot in 1944, finished and released in 1954.

Excerpts from some of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's outstanding operas performed at the Vienna State Opera, played by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Rudolf Moralt. Cinematically modest, as it focuses entirely on depicting the performances, but musically delightful.

A portrait of a woman presented by herself as she tells her life story to a timid young female neighbor. Banalities and horrors, a painful separation from a man she once loved.
