Two short operas in just under an hour – two stories about two couples: a woman, a man, and a telephone whose ringing prevents any deeper conversation. A pair of lovers, members of opposing sides, meet on the battlefield and are fatally wounded, each unknowingly. What can love be? And what happens when an abyss yawns on both sides of the tightrope walk between mutual love and individual freedom? The young director Kilian Bohnensack bridges the gap between the archaic and the modern with his combination of two music theater compositions.

The Telephone / Il combattimento: Double evening by Gian Carlo Menotti / Claudio Monteverdi

Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden

It's complicated. Mrs. Bennet has five daughters that she urgently needs to marry. As patriarchal inheritance law stipulates, at least one of the daughters must find a suitable bachelor to secure the family inheritance. When the extraordinarily amiable and extraordinarily wealthy Charles Bingley moves into the neighborhood, happiness seems within reach. At the town ball, it's all about entertaining! Dancing! Singing! While things start to heat up between Jane and Bingley, the proud Elizabeth clashes with the snooty Mr. Darcy. On the way to the happy ending, there are of course still numerous misunderstandings to clear up, wounded vanities to heal and emotional entanglements to unravel.
