Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes stars, in the lastest drama from director Nicholas Hytner ("The Lady in the Van") depicts a British choir director's efforts to form an ensemble during World War I. Written by playwright Alan Bennett, "The Choral" highlights music's power to uplift in troubled times. Set in 1916, the Great War has left a Yorkshire choral society without voices. Dr. Guthrie (Fiennes) must recruit adolescent singers for a performance of Edward Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius. As a demanding taskmaster, he helps the teens discover the joys of singing together while facing conscription.  "The Choral" is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and art in processing anxieties and fostering hope.
