We join Adam Plachetka on his travels to the world's most prestigious opera and concert halls, such as the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and the Salzburg Festival.
We meet up with the singer on stage at the National Theatre in Prague and at the location of his permanent contract with the Vienna State Opera. This documentary film maps Adam Plachetka's ceaseless “run” from continent to continent and from stage to stage. We are also treated to a glimpse of Adam Plachetka's private life in the role of a caring father and husband.
The documentary was made between 2015 and 2019.
