Meeting Venus

"...marvellously entertaining..." William Hall - Sunday Express David Puttnam's romantic comedy stars Glenn Close as Swedish soprano Karin Anderson who comes to Paris to star in a multi-national production of Wagner's opera 'Tannhauser'. But if the performers look poised and confident on stage, behind the scenes it's a completely different story. Jealousy, nerves, tantrums and insecurity are only the tip of the iceberg. Throw in a strike call the dancers' union, demonstration by an environmental action group, disastrous sets-nor forgetting an explosive love affair between Karin and the Hungarian conductor, and it's little wonder that music is the last thing on anybody's mind! © Warner Bros, Inc.
