> Lorenz was the most highly regarded Wagnerian tenor in Germany in the
> 30s & 40s and managed remarkably to survive the war 'under Hitler's
> protection' despite being both homosexual and having a Jewish wife. His
> wife survived too - lots of parallels with the 'Keller' story as well as
> intriguing footage of the opera houses of Germany & Vienna and a lot of
> background on Wagnerian opera and the operatic world.

> If anyone can loan me a copy I'd be grateful

> I think that the film would help bring the character and world of
> Maestro to life for a lot of students - it's been shown twice and I
> can't see a repeat coming up on the ABC website.
