This sounds like it might be "Meeting Venus". Glenn Close starred as the
opera singer. The opera company was doing a production of Tannhauser and
the musicians are contemplating a strike. At one point the Glenn Close
character gives a recital of Schumann's Du bist wie eine Blume. So maybe
there is another movie with a somewhat similar plot out there where a singer
does a Schubert song.

But in this film the soloist and the conductor are having an affair and sure
enough, the conductor and his wife are in the audience when she sings her
recital. It's a very contrived storyline and quite silly to see Glenn Close
lip-sync to Kiri Te Kanawa, but she doesn't do a half-bad job.

This might not be the movie you are thinking of, but it's a definite
possibility!

could help me, although in the spanish translation surely the meaning will
change (always happens with films!). It think it was about a choir that
decides to go on strike or something like that. There was also a conductor
that falls in love with a soprano, but he is married. The soprano sings at a
concert as a soloist and one of the songs is Schubert "Du bist die Ruh". She
is very sad when she sings it, as the conductor is among the public with his
wife. It is something like that. I would like to find this film in order my
students can see it at school. Any help will be apreciated.
