Synopsis:

Originally titled Broderna Mozart, the Swedish The Mozart Brothers stars Etienne Glaser as a highly unorthodox opera director. His plans to stage Don Giovanni in bizarre, inappropriate costumes, and to have the orchestra members take singing roles, enrages the conservatory opera company that has engaged him. Glaser is motivated by the "voice of God"--God being in this instance Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose ghost commiserates with the innovational director from time to time. The Mozart Brothers was itself directed by Suzanne Osten, daughter of a leading Swedish film critic.

Comedy satire about an opera director who decides to strip the opera 'Don Giovanni' of its libretto and to strip the singers of their hair and their clothes in favour of colourful rags. After an initial outcry the venture's a great success but everyone forgets the director.
