Le Concert

Synopsis:During the Brezhnev era, Andrei Filipov was the greatest conductor in the Soviet Union and he directed the famous Bolshoi Orchestra. But after refusing to abandon his Jewish musicians, including his best friend Sacha, he was fired at the height of his glory. Thirty years later, he is still working at the Bolshoi, but... as a cleaner. One evening, when Andrei has stayed late to the polish the director's desk, he comes across a fax addressed to the Bolshoi management: it is an invitation from the Thtre du Chtelet in Paris for the orchestra to come and perform there. Suddenly, Andrei has a crazy idea: why not bring together his old musician friends, who now get by doing menial work, and take them to Paris, passing them off as the Bolshoi Orchestra?

I personally find that the plot of the storyline was average, where it narrate a fake orchestra tried to pass off as the Bolshoi Orchestra to go to Paris to perform. On the way, members disappeared to seek their own life in order to escape from the poverty back in Russia. However, the piece "Tchaikovsky" at the end of the show was really good and emotional that it more than make up for any errors in the shows. All the cast also played their roles very convincing and well. With such a great music and talented cast, this concert should not be missed.
