Mexico City 1940. Communist parades are celebrating May day. In a hotel room near Zocalo Square there are two people who are destined to play a major part in the events leading to the assassination of Leon Trotsky the ageing idealist and 'dedicated Marxist and atheist' banished from Russia by Josef Stalin who has been given sanctuary by the Mexican Government - Frank Jacson travelling on a Canadian passport who claims to be a Belgian in Mexico avoiding national service and Gita Samuels a one-time translator.
Acclaimed Italian baritone Tito Gobbi shines on this DVD highlighting his remarkable persona and singing voice. The 1950 British musical-drama THE GLASS MOUNTAIN is a compelling story of love and opera in which Gobbi gets to showcase his beautiful deep voice. Clips from the 1948 Rome Opera performance of LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR in which Gobbi starred with Lilliana Rossi are also included.
