FARINELLI AND THE KING

Music can sometimes achieve what no medicine can – it can calm the chaos in your head and bring peace. This is exactly what happens at the court of King Philip V of Spain, who shuts himself off from the world, sinks into darkness, and refuses to hear what is really happening in the country. The desperate Queen Elizabeth brings Farinelli to court, a singer with such an unprecedented range and captivating voice that he awakens something in the king that doctors have failed to do – the desire to live.
