The Court Concert
1936 · Movie · 85 min. · Germany
At the royal court of Immendingen a bad mood prevails. The annual court concert is about to be ruined, because the court singer Pinelli is once again indisposed. The chamberlain, the State Minister von Arnegg, and the director are clueless and Serenissimus, the prince, is heartbroken. He very much wants to hear a beloved song, which the pretty Angelika Cavallieri sang for him some twenty years earlier. He often thinks wistfully on this period of time and the short, happy love he experienced with her. Thus, Belotti, a young, gifted singer, has to be fetched from Munich.
