Warsaw, Saint Petersburg, Vienna, Paris, Milan, Venice… This twelve-part series crisscrosses the continent in the footsteps of twelve of the world’s greatest classical music composers (Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bizet, Berlioz, Puccini, Mahler, Offenbach, Liszt & Mozart).

At each stop, a musician or historian serves as our guide to the great composers’ public and private lives. Twelve different directors blend interviews with narration, archive materials and musical sequences to paint twelve intimate portraits.
