Even Tito Schipa was a child before he became a great tenor. From dusty streets and school plays, to the most important theaters in the world (and Hollywood!), he spent his entire life following music.
Today, his story is still unbelievable. It is a modern fable for children and adults alike.
​
Using fresh narration and simple language, we watch Tito grow up to become an immortal and indisputed opera star.
