Liszt's Dance with the Devil focuses on the inner duel between the virtuoso and the composer, the seduction of glamour and the quest for spirituality that took place throughout Franz Liszt's life.

Ophra Yerushalmi, a pianist and filmmaker, has been intrigued by and attracted to Franz Liszt ever since her study with the internationally known Liszt exponent, pianist Claudio Arrau. 

Liszt's Dance with the Devil is a work-in-progress that comes on the heels of Ms Yerushalmi's film Chopin's Afterlife, which was selected for distribution by Filmaker's Library and screened on TV.
