Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In present day Montreal, a famous Nicolo Bussotti violin, known as "the red violin," is being auctioned off. During the auction, we flash back to the creation of the violin in 17th century Italy, and follow the violin as it makes its way through an 18th century Austrian monastery, a violinist in 19th century Oxford, China during the Cultural Revolution, and back to Montreal, where a collector tries to establish the identity and the secrets of "the red violin."

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Christoph Koncz (as Kaspar Weiss the orphan virtuoso) was only nine years old when featured in this movie. He is an Austrian-Hungarian classical musician that became an internationally-renowned violinist and conductor. See more » |
| Goofs | The substance used to give the violin its color would not actually work in real life. The substance does not mix into varnish, and would quickly coagulate and oxidize to a dark brown or black color if it were actually used as the movie implies. See more » |
