Opis

Tempesta's Dream is the inspirational story of an aspiring opera singer coming of age in Milan; a tender and moving love story; a testament to the bonds of friendship; and, at its core, a tribute to the beauty, majesty and miracle of opera. Giovanni Tempesta always dreamed of singing at Milan's La Scala Opera House. There's just one small problem -- he's never had formal training or the money to pursue his dream. When he meets the seductive and wealthy Isabella Monterone, he becomes even more determined to become a singer. With the assistance of Alfredo del Monte, a blind, retired opera singer with a secretive past, who resides at the Casa di Riposo in Milan, Giovanni sets out on a quest to hopefully attain his dream. Will his luck turn around? Could Alfredo be the one person who could assist him in finding the break he needs? Or is Giovanni destined to be on the cusp of reaching his life long dream, only to find failure? Find out in this poignant love story; a story of both "amicizia e amore" (friendship and love.)
