A new generation at the opera house.

Dresden, 1869: Violinist Elise Jacobi's children inherit her passion for music. Daughter Netty is rehearsing as the lead ballerina at the Semperoper, while son Julius, a talented pianist, falls for independent banker's daughter Rahel Cohn. As a new generation embraces freedom, a fire destroys the Royal Theater. Architect Gottfried Semper returns to rebuild the theater, marking his return to Dresden after 20 years. Christian Hildebrand, a former theater painter, also returns after a successful career abroad. His reunion with lost love Elise is emotional, especially when he meets 19-year-old Julius and senses a truth that changes everything he thought he knew.
