De Dirigent plot
"The heart of a woman, the soul of an artist"
Biopic about the world's first successful female conductor: Antonia Brico. Antonia Brico was born Wilhemina Wolthius in Rotterdam in 1902, but moved to California in 1908 with her adoptive parents. After a musical education in the US, she left in 1927 for the Berlin Conservatory, where she became the first American to graduate in 1929. In 1930 she made her debut as the first female conductor for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra; in 1938 she is the first woman to stand for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Her eventful life is also successfully dominated by conquering and preserving a place in the male-dominated world of conductors.
