— by WILLIAM STERR —When art copies life copies art. Jeanine (Amanda Seyfried – “I Don’t Understand You”) has an opportunity to re-mount the opera “Salome,” a piece that she worked on with her deceased mentor, Charles, years before. She leaps at the chance. However, she faces several obstacles. Charles’ estate, represented by his wife (Lanette Ware – “The Fire Inside”), insists the remount be the same as the successful production of years past, while Jeanine yearns to put her own stamp on it.
