- catalog abstract "A well-known tenor approaches Sacks about a problem with his eyes, which is diagnosed as visual agnosia, a condition in which he can see but cannot make sense of what he sees. He uses music to give coherence to his visual life and to express his needs. His loss of image is traced through his paintings; yet, he preserved musicality, moving to an inner sound track. Upon the patient's death, an autopsy reveals his condition was Alzheimer's disease. This theme of the patient's replacement of the visual by the musical suggests a chamber opera, a transformation supported by Dr. Sachs, who appears as himself in the film.".
