Life is hard for Marie-Antoinette and her husband King Louis XVI. For almost 20 years they have been locked up in the magnificent Palace of Versailles waiting for their beheading. Outside their window, the people constantly harass them with loud revolutionary slogans, their servants have shrunk to just one person, and they haven't even had a decent piece of cake for a long time. And although prominent figures from the French Revolution keep coming to visit unannounced, the executions simply don't progress. So Louis XVI has courageously worked on his own guillotine in secret. And what can we say - it works. After all, the royals have to kill time somehow in this entrenched situation; but also escape the thought that they will no longer find a place in this new world that is loudly forming outside the window.

Marie-Antoinette or cake for everyone!

Opernhaus Dortmund

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...
