Overview
When young Louis Quilico meets upcoming concert pianist Lina Pizzolongo, a personal and musical collaboration begins that sees Louis become one of the most accomplished baritones in the world. Their son, Gino, follows in his father's footsteps to emerge as a globetrotting opera singer. Theirs is a story of love, fame, estrangement, breakdown, and finally triumph. Connie Guzzo-McParland writes her own aria with this real-life family dynasty that takes us through the world of opera all its high notes, tragedies and artistry intact.
