Synopsis:

THE MUSIC OF SILENCE tells the story of Amos, who is born with the gift of superb vocal talent, but he is also nearly blind.  Driven by great ambition, Amos does not give up despite repeated challenges until he manages to achieve his first great success on stage. From there, he begins a life studded with victories and becomes one of the most celebrated opera singers in the world.
