This year Sir Rudolf Bing retires as General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. This film is about Sir Rudolf as he looks back on a tough and glorious 22 years as undisputed master in his own house and about his so far unknown successor, Goeran Gentele from the Royal Opera House, Stockholm, as he prepares to set out to tackle the job for himself.
