Reg, Wilf and Cissy are retired former opera singers who often worked together, living in Beecham House, a home for gifted musicians. The musicians and singers living in the house put on a gala concert on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday every year. Finances threaten closure of the home, but proceeds from the concert hold hope for a revival. The arrival of Reg's ex-wife, Jean, has old rivalries and theatrical temperaments flaring up again and it becomes unclear if the show will or will not go on. Three of the four are keen to recreate the third act quartet "Bella figlia dell'amore" from Rigoletto and one is not.
Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King's Speech's Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne.
