Synopsis

FINDING ELeAZAR is a feature length documentary which chronicles the journey of international opera star Neil Shiciff as he develops the infamous tenor role of Eleazar from the Grand French opera La Juive.

The film traces Mr. Shicoff's personal history, his religion and beliefs as he internalizes the dichotomy of a character who gives his own daughter to death because of his own intolerance, fanaticism and urge for revenge.
