Celebrated Swedish opera star Karin Anderson is slated to appear in an internationally-telecast production of Tannhauser.

The much-anticipated production may never get off the ground, thanks to labor-management difficulties, intramural jealousies, and clashing egos. Amidst all this chaos, the mismatched Anderson and Szanto fall in love.
