A Chorus of Disapproval

A shy Welshman, Guy Jones, takes a job at a small, struggling opera company in the heart of London, hoping to find a new start and perhaps a little romance. As he rises through the ranks and becomes the company's director, he finds himself entangled in a web of office politics, strained relationships, and clandestine affairs among the eccentric troupe. His attempts to navigate this complex social landscape and revive the company's fortunes lead to a series of comedic and dramatic misadventures.
