Description
Overture of Hope: A Secret Aria of Courage and Suspense In the face of war and persecution, two British spinsters, driven by their love of opera, hatch a daring plan to save dozens of Jewish stars and personnel from the Third Reich. Isabel Vincent's gripping story reveals the remarkable true tale of how these women, with the help of an Austrian conductor, brought together a secret cabal of opera aficionados and insiders to rescue Jews in the opera from the Holocaust. As the war clouds gather, the Cook sisters, a dowdy typist and a romance novelist, find themselves at the forefront of a secret operation to spirit Jewish opera stars to safety in England. With the help of Clemens Krauss, a favorite of Hitler, they navigate the treacherous landscape of Nazi-occupied Europe, using their passion for opera to bring people together and save lives. This remarkable true story is a testament to the power of courage and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity.
