We follow Günther from the Austrian town of Waidhofen an der Ybbs for two years, capturing key moments: from his return to work after the pandemic, to his debut as King Philip in Verdi's ‘Don Carlo’ at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The result is a very personal portrait depicting a unique attitude to life, epitomised in two lines from one of Mahler's Rückert-Lieder: “I live alone in my heaven, in my love, in my song”. A great documentary for opera novices and veterans alike, revealing what goes on behind the stages of the great opera productions.
