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

Azucena swears revenge. Her mother was burned as a witch by the old Count Luna. She kidnaps one of his sons, but in her madness kills her own son. She then raises the kidnapped Manrico - but his true origins remain a secret. In the later civil war for the succession to the throne of Aragon, Manrico not only faces the young Count Luna on the battlefield, they also vie for the love of the lady-in-waiting Leonora. Neither of them knows that they are actually brothers... In "Il trovatore", Giuseppe Verdi tells a story full of twists and turns, driven by love, jealousy and revenge. His music is just as varied as the emotions of his characters and gives the opera, which takes place almost entirely at night, its dark mood. With its wealth of melodies, the opera has been a mainstay of the musical theater repertoire since its premiere in 1853.
