“Director Nicholas Hytner’s historical drama ‘The Choral’, which focuses on a choral society that attempts to perform The Dream of Gerontius for their community against the backdrop of World War I, hits its notes with aplomb…it’s a tune about the impotence of art making in the midst of crisis that bears repeating, as the world that’s all too eager to sacrifice the arts on the altar of productivity and progress, ” according to film critic Roger Ebert.

A choral society's male members enlist in World War I, leaving the demanding Dr. Guthrie to recruit teenagers. Together, they experience the joy of singing while the young boys grapple with their impending conscription into the army.
