What happens when ghosts fall in love? Inside the palace of Versailles, the long-dead Marie Antoinette is pursued by the (also long-dead) writer Beaumarchais, famous for his stories of Figaro and the Almaviva family. Will his newest opera assuage the royal’s sadness, joining them for eternity? Or, will its production alter the course of human history?
