Set in Vienna in 1938 and London during the Blitzkrieg, The Pianist of Willesden Lane uses tour-de-force storytelling and extraordinary live piano music to tell the true and inspiring story of Lisa Jura, a young Jewish pianist whose dream of making her concert debut at the storied Musikverein concert hall is dashed by the onset of World War II.
