ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Ann Patchett's novel, "Bel Canto," a lavish birthday party for a Japanese businessman, Mr. Hosokawa, at the Vice President's home in an unnamed South American country is disrupted by a band of terrorists hoping to capture the President. When the President fails to appear, the terrorists take the entire party hostage, setting off a prolonged and unexpected standoff. As days turn into weeks and then months, the hostages and their captors find themselves navigating an uneasy coexistence. The power of music, particularly the captivating voice of renowned opera singer Roxane Coss, transcends language barriers and creates an unlikely sense of community within the confines of the house. Amidst the tension and uncertainty, unexpected bonds form, challenging traditional roles and expectations. Love blossoms, unlikely friendships emerge, and a shared appreciation for beauty and human connection emerges, offering a glimmer of hope in a world held captive.
