Opus

A world-renowned string quartet struggles to prepare for its highest-profile performance ever, when the violist and founder of the quartet mysteriously disappears. When a young woman is hired as a replacement, her musical gifts inspire the musicians, and they decide at short notice to abandon their friendly Pachelbel Canon program and replace it with Beethoven's difficult Opus 131. The rehearsal room becomes a pressure cooker as passions rise, personalites clash and the musicians are forced to tackle the ephemeral nature of their life's work.

Primary Stages presents the play Opus by Michael Hollinger, 24 July until 1 September 2007 in New York, USA.
