- This is a TV adaptation of a 1993 opera entitled "Rosa," with a libretto by Greenaway and score by Louis Andriessen. "Rosa" is the first in a projected series of 10 operas, each dealing with the death of a famous composer - some real (Anton Webern, Jean-Baptiste Lully, John Lennon), others fictional. "Rosa" falls into the latter category; it tells the story of Juan Manuel de Rosa, a Brazilian who went to study music in America but spent most of his time in the cinema instead, becoming particularly entranced by Westerns. Now 32 years old and residing in an abandoned Uraguayan slaughterhouse, Rosa has become one of Hollywood's foremost composers, specializing in (what else?) Westerns. He also has a beautiful 19-year-old fiancee, Esmeralda, but he pays her little heed, instead lavishing his attentions on a black mare named Bola. One day, a group of men attired as cowboys arrive at the abattoir and kill both Rosa and Bola; an investigation is conducted, with particular suspicion!

- Swiss family man Marcel Huber is off with his wife and two kids to a nice vacation in the hotel Amsterdam in Rome. Too late they realise their travel agency has made a booking error. Instead to Italy, the four are sent to the hotel Roma in Amsterdam: a sleazy establishment where rooms are rent by the hour. Their suitcases misplaced by the airline and stuck in a hotel in the Red Light District, the family is at the point of total despair. Then the strangely attentive Swiss/Dutch Playboy Jaap steps in to help. He makes a business offer, Marcel can hardly refuse. More trouble follows and family Huber must stand united to overcome all obstacles, or it will break apart.
- The opera begins at the end. The woman has just experienced a terrible accident, a crash of both the computer and her brain to which the computer is connected. The first two parts take us through the reconstruction of her story, the use of her body, speech, memory and the data banks and central brain of the computer. She shares genetic, organic material with the computer as the computer replaces parts of her body with its cybernetic material. The relationship is unclear to both of them. Where reality exists is in a floating multi-layered network of hallucinations, fractured memories and her externalized inner life viewed on the computers screens, the film itself. She is physically present, witnessing and participating in the story on the stage, the computer, consisting of screens, sounds, musical icons and a glass central unit on which the woman performs her rituals of reconstruction. The story unfolds to her and to us simultaneously in a quest to understand what caused the accident and what events led up to it. In the final part we arrive at the beginning and a realization that she must repeat the experiment, which caused the original accident. In the private isolation of her lab we watch her move deeper into her explorations, unclear as to where the borders between her and the computer are, the two now, are intimately wrapped inside each other. This discovery of a new consciousness in the combination of human and computer inner life must be carried to its final conclusion. As she and the computer transcend the limits of the body, mind and machine they are no longer possible to perceive, here the opera disappears.
