This series is divided into 4 episodes. The first episode is boring, but as usual the characters are being introduced. The 2nd gets more interesting, that I finally could finish all 4.The center character is Carlo di Vanelli (Ruggero Raimondi), a successful opera singer. His personal life is not too successful like his career. His wife wants to leave him because she has had enough - his current mistress, a music teacher, is living under the same roof: the foundation belongs to di Vanelli. His eldest son hasn't spoken to him for a long time. An old acquaintance, François Dubreuil, a businessman, wants to take di Vanelli's most precious thing: his foundation. In the past, di Vanelli won the heart of the woman they both loved: Esther Manet, a soprano. Di Vanelli writes an opera for Esther, called Le sanglot des anges (=The Sob of Angels). He dreams to be able to have it performed one day. The problem is, half of the work is in Dubreil's hand, late Esther's husband.
As soon as di Vanelli's wife, Eléonore, has an affair with a man she just met, the plot gets more interesting. Side characters are quite good, like: Angelo (di Vanelli's son who paints the same mysterious woman's face, a woman whom he has never met), Marlène (di Vanelli's agent who flirts with the inspector who takes the murder case, which at first di Vanelli is a suspect - this inspector always grins all the time, gives an impression that he is not serious with his job.), Gilou (the faithful barman), Diane (a soprano who has the same voice as Esther and has been looking for a chance to meet di Vanelli for an audition).
The ending is predictable, nevertheless this is an enjoyable show.
