Sir Roberto Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce his ravishing nineteen-year-old stepdaughter, Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdis darkest opera, . As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldinis haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent feuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some very bizarre things would continue to occur.
