Normally, the Marquise de Merteuil gets rid of her lovers. But it was different with the Comte de Gercourt, who ended the liaison. To take revenge on him, the Vicomte de Valmont, who is well-versed in all the arts of seduction, is supposed to take away Gercourt's virgin bride's innocence before the wedding. But Valmont feels called to greater things: he wants to make the modest Madame de Tourvel submissive and makes a bet with the Marquise, with whom he himself once had an affair: if he actually manages to seduce Tourvel, he and the Marquise will spend another night together. But the unscrupulous game of power and intrigue increasingly gets out of hand...

Dangerous Liaisons

Theater Nordhausen

The beautiful and at the same time ice-cold Princess Turandot, "the Pure", only wants to marry the prince who can solve her three essentially unsolvable riddles. If he fails, the unsuccessful suitor will be executed. Prince Calàf, irretrievably in love with her, wants to face the tests. Everyone tries to dissuade him from his deadly plan: his blind father Timur, the slave Liů, who herself has fallen in unrequited love for Calàf, and even the three imperial ministers. Nevertheless, he takes the risk and, to Turandot's horror, solves all the riddles. Recognizing her resistance, he poses a riddle of his own, but in the end he reveals the solution, thereby surrendering himself to Turandot once again...
