The Lyre of Orpheus

The Cornish Foundation, led by chairman Arthur Cornish, faces a pivotal decision about funding a meaningful project. They choose to support Hulda Schnakenburg, a talented yet challenging music student, in completing the score of an unfinished opera by E. T. A. Hoffmann. As the Foundation ventures to stage the opera, the spirit of Hoffmann looms ominously, raising questions about creativity, ambition, and the consequences of their endeavor.
