Plot
In the early 20th century, in London, after a concert, the famous opera singer Joachim Dallayrac shocks everyone by announcing his retirement from the stage at the height of his fame. Instead, he decides to focus on teaching Sophie, a young singer, much to the surprise and disappointment of critics. Meanwhile, his longtime rival Prince Scotti thrives, while Joachim's proteges, Sophie and Jean, excel under his guidance.
As time passes, Sophie develops feelings for Joachim, who remains devoted solely to his music. Despite their growing closeness, Joachim keeps his distance, knowing their relationship can't progress. However, circumstances lead them to participate in a singing competition at Scotti's castle, where Sophie and Jean shine. Meanwhile, Joachim dies unexpectedly.
Sophie's performance at the competition impresses everyone, including Scotti, who pits Jean against his own protege, Arcas, in a singing duel. Jean emerges victorious, and both he and Sophie are offered opportunities to further their careers. Amidst this success, they receive news of Joachim's death and reflect on their future without him.
