"How far should our grief go, how far may it go, without uprooting us?"
Paul
After the death of his wife Marie, Paul lives a withdrawn and isolated life in his apartment. He only remains in contact with his friend Frank and Brigitta, who runs his household. But when Paul meets the dancer Marietta on the street, who bears a striking resemblance to Marie, his life, marked by grief, takes a turn: While Paul tries to make Marietta more and more like his deceased wife, the inner conflict between reality and ideal becomes increasingly overwhelming. Marietta initially plays along, but refuses to allow her independence and freedom to be restricted.

Two peoples find themselves in the barbaric grip of war after Nabucco and his troops attack Jerusalem. The Babylonian ruler and Zaccaria, the leader of the Hebrews, do not budge an inch from their opposing viewpoints in this profound conflict, while the daily grind of war continues to bring new suffering to both peoples. The seemingly hopeless conflict does not even stop at their own families: Zaccaria holds Nabucco's favorite daughter Fenena hostage, while she has long since changed sides out of love for Ismaele and lives among the enemy people. Nabucco's other daughter, Abigaille, envies her sister's happiness and her father's throne and forges disastrous plans...

Don Giovanni is constantly searching for new erotic adventures, seducing one woman after another and leaving a trail of ruined relationships in his wake. He is indifferent to the damage others suffer. With false promises, he rushes from one conquest to the next, without any real goal in mind, until his own actions ultimately catch up with him. His unconditional desire for freedom is both appealing and fascinating, thus becoming a projection screen for various female characters and their desires.

Don Giovanni

Staatstheater Braunschweig

The Don Juan myth has been firmly anchored in European cultural history since the 17th century. It was given a new boost in 1787 by Mozart and Da Ponte's opera adaptation. It was not without reason that ETA Hoffmann called "Don Giovanni" the "opera of all operas": to this day, the work is one of the most frequently performed and staged works in the repertoire. The story of the restless and restless seducer fascinates audiences all over the world.

The feared seducer Don Giovanni chases from one love affair to the next. While his unfortunate servant Leporello suffers the consequences, the womanizer himself does not shy away from even the most gruesome crimes: for example, he kills the father of his latest conquest, Donna Anna, who tried to overpower the scoundrel. While Donna Anna, her fiancé Don Ottavio and Don Giovanni's ex-lover Donna Elvira, seek revenge, the latter is already causing trouble at a wedding, where he is trying to win over the bride Zerlina - much to the displeasure of the groom Masetto. But the voice of the ghost of Donna Anna's murdered father announces that Don Giovanni's misdeeds will soon end...
