520    To celebrate his 200th birthday on 1 March 2010, this film
       shows little known facets of Frédéric Chopin: the 
       passionate opera fan, the admirer of the great female 
       singers of his time, the advocate of the aesthetics of bel
       canto -- the art of beautiful singing accompanied on the 
       piano. For Chopin the opera represents the highest form of
       art, even though he never thought about writing for the 
       stage himself. His contemporaries Bellini, Donizetti, and 
       Rossini meant more to him than Beethoven, Liszt, or 
       Schumann. Their decisive influence is reflected in the 
       vocal parts of Chopin's piano compositions. Especially the
       stylistic influence is applied through the flow, trills, 
       and cadences of the coloraturas. It was the architect 
       Adolf Loos who said: "Ornament is crime." Yet, the 
       ornament is also a place of improvisation, freedom, and 
       exuberance. At the castle of Chopin's beloved George Sand 
       in Nohant, France, two singers, a pianist, and an actress 
       meet with the most knowledgeable contemporary experts on 
       Chopin and bel canto. For a whole week in late autumn, 
       they delve into Chopin's opera experiences: his admiration
       for the great bel canto singer Giuditta Pasta, his 
       friendship with Vincenzo Bellini, and his relationship 
       with Pauline Viardot, daughter of tenor Manuel Garcia and 
       sister of the mezzo-soprano Maria Malibran, who, as 
       pianist and composer, worked on Chopin's Mazurkas for 
       voice and piano. These Mazurkas are, as well as his pure 
       piano compositions, rehearsed and discussed in Nohant. 
       Particularly by means of the mezzo-soprano Katerina 
       Hebelkova's voice, they unfold their musical potential. By
       singing arias of Handel, Rossini, and Bellini, the great 
       bel canto singer Vesselina Kasarova complements Chopin's 
       influencing sources of inspiration. Likewise influenced by
       Chopin, Kasarova seeked a singing career after studying 
       the piano. Virtuoso she depicts the influence his piano 
       pieces had on her singing, thereby highlighting that this 
       aspect is for her no less important than Chopin's 
       influence on opera as a whole.
