The Last Rhapsody (Utolsó rapszódia)
In 1911, to mark the 25th anniversary of Franz Litz’s death, a Budapest theatre is preparing for the premiere of a play about the composer’s final days in Bayreuth. Suddenly a mysterious woman appears at one of the rehearsals, asserting that the play does not correspond to reality,that Liszt did not die in the manner known from various novels. The actors want to learn the truth, and so the woman reveals the painfully beautiful relationship between Liszt and one of his last students, Lina Schmalhausen, which lasted from the middle of the 1870s to his death.
