"Blissfully romantic.... A terrific, spellcasting story." - San Francisco Chronicle
Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing.
It is a perfect evening-until a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage.
