In the Shadow of the Stars (1991)

A hilarious and affectionate look at the path to stardom inside the competitive world of opera. Filmmakers Allie Light and Irving Saraf relegate the divas to the background and focus on a limelight-craving group of "choristers" -- the seldom-noticed singers who stand behind the soloists portraying peasants, soldiers and slaves.

Excellent! This is a great look into the life of an opera house chorister. Won the 1991 Academy Award for Best Documentary too!

An intersting behind the scenes look at an opera company and how chorus singers view their role in the opera as minor players.

This is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the varieties of personalities who comprise the San Francisco Opera chorus. We see their commitment, their passion, and their frustrations. Some of their on-camera confessions are brutal. Others are poignant. The opera production photography is magnificent and we do come away with a better understanding of the lives of members of the chorus--- who are indeed "In the Shadow of the Stars." The one film which outshines this one is a documentary about the Metropolitan Opera annual auditions (sorry I can't recall the name of the film). Both films together make a truly rounded presentation of the backstage life of an opera comapny. Remembering that this film was made over a decade ago, many of those featured have moved on or passed away, but certainly the companies and choruses work the same way.

Well-done, Oscar-winning documentary focusing on the back-up singers/actors in the San Francisco Opera. I'm not really into opera, but their stories and struggles are universal.

a 90-minute ***** session about everything opera-related...
