First
Night
(2010)
First
Night is a light comedy
about a rich
industrialist Sir Adam
(Richard E. Grant) who
has a dream to be in a
world class opera, but
he hasn't the skills. So
he produces his own. He
employs a bunch of
up-and-comers to star
and make the opera, but
it seems the main reason
he did it was so that he
can get close to
conductor Celia (Sarah
Brightman). Director and
choreographer Phillip
(Oliver Dimsdale) has
cast Italian protege
Nicoletta (Mía Maestro)
and newcomer Tom (Julian
Ovenden) who lies his
way into the role. At a
raucous party, Sir Adam
bets Tom that he can't
bag Nicoletta and it
doesn't take long before
that looks like it's
happening, but Nicoletta
finds out and it
threatens to jeopardise
the production.
Meanwhile, other
tête-à-têtes begin
between the cast and
other people involved in
the production. So, will
the production actually
go ahead without issue?
Yeah,
not a fan of opera, or
for that matter, the
going on behind the
scenes, so I didn't
think much of the movie,
but the nudity from Emma
Williams is nice, so it
wasn't all torturous...
