The Plot Spirals, the Notes Don’t
It starts with a calm lunch. Sugar magnate Pacarel decides to hire a star tenor to sing his daughter’s opera at the Paris Opera—her shiny new Faust. But a spectacular mix‑up lands not a famed vocalist, but a young man just starting law school. He can’t sing a note. From there the household detonates: tangled romances, crossed signals, suitors courting the wrong people, and a law student who keeps getting shoved center stage to sing—disaster in glorious slow motion.
