Details
Mahler's Conversion deals with a professional and moral dilemma of anti-semitism. Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) desperately wants to secure the top job in the musical world of Vienna, conductor of the Court Opera. But Mahler is a Jew, and to achieve his ambition, he must convert to Catholicism. He may be willing, but there's a bigger price to pay.
