| Summary: | It's opening night of Vincenzo Bellini's new opera I Puritani in Paris, and the Italian composer is determined to win the adulation of not only his audience, but his colleagues and rivals as well.

Blending 21st-century language with the timeless beauty of 19th-century bel canto opera, Golden Age portrays the final act of an artist whose desire for greatness has eclipsed all else. |
