An epic adventure about an opera-loving madman who attempts to build an opera house in the jungles of Brazil. “One of the great visions of the cinema” ---Roger Ebert
Synopsis
One immigrant, an Irishman named Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald (known by the locals as "Fitzcarraldo"), is a lover of opera and a great fan of the internationally-renowned Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. He dreams of building an opera house in Iquitos, but, although he has an indomitable spirit, he has little capital.
