Fiasko

Film, Opera, 2018

An opera singer is making her way to Kaliningrad while Europe is breaking apart. Along the way, allies in the name of opera tune in to this farewell. FIASKO is the disaster in which the European utopia ends – if it was an opera. The opera is regarded as the European cultural heritage per se. Usually, its plot starts in a crisis and culminates in a catastrophe. How would the European utopia end, if it was an opera?
