The Seven Years' War is over. Minna von Barnhelm is searching for her fiancé, Major Tellheim, from whom she hasn't heard in weeks. He is penniless because a bill of exchange he received for an advance payment is not recognized as his property by a Berlin court. Now he is stuck in an inn and has to vacate his room to a more affluent noblewoman. The fact that this woman is Minna, of all people, doesn't ensure a quick happy ending. Tellheim's wounded sense of honor stands in the way of a new relationship. Minna, a self-confident and self-determined woman, tries to circumvent the major's stubbornness, but although they love each other and both believe their intentions are always good, they constantly run into each other. This is what makes the play so comically charming. The great Enlightenment thinker, Lessing, does not overlook how war defines and changes social positions.

Minna von Barnhelm

A spark jumps over, enthusiasm ignites and a flame blazes, the heart beats for music. Careers in musical theater usually begin very early, the soundtrack is often created in childhood. It drives you on so that boundaries can be overcome. It comforts you when you experience setbacks or losses. It gives expression to anger when everything seems to be going wrong.
