Truffaldino travels to Venice with his employer. And because the boss is busy in important meetings, Truffaldino quickly finds a second job that promises to fill his empty stomach and save him from financial difficulties. Now it's all about keeping the two employers secret. But Boss No. 1 is actually a woman, dressed only in men's clothing, looking for her lover, who is on the run after a botched duel. And Boss No. 2 is—how could it be otherwise—this lover, of all people. While the two lovers are actually looking for each other, Truffaldino works up a sweat to prevent them from meeting at all costs. This famous game of mistaken identity brought joy to people more than 250 years ago and became Carlo Goldoni's masterpiece.

The Servant of Two Masters

The final symphony concert of the season presents a Scandinavian program with discoverable works from Sweden and Denmark, as well as a Finnish classic that, surprisingly, originated in Italy. Elfrida Andrée, born in 1841 in Visby on Gotland, was the first female composer in Sweden to venture into the realm of symphonic music. In 1894, she composed her only opera, "Fritiofs Saga," based on a libretto by Selma Lagerlöf, but it was never performed during her lifetime. The trombone concerto by Danish composer Launy Grøndahl from 1924 combines elements of Romanticism, Impressionism, and Nordic folklore and is one of the most significant contributions to the genre. In Lübeck, the piece will be played by the Philharmonic Orchestra's principal trombonist, Stephan Gerblinger.

In 2009, it landed at number 9 in the "ABC Classic 100 Symphony Countdown" – and rightly so: Jean Sibelius's Symphony No. 2 is one of the most popular works in the symphonic repertoire today. Its grand finale made it a symbol of the struggle for independence from Russia in Finland. Sibelius himself never expressed a clear political interpretation – and yet this music strikes a chord: Between the sounds of nature, awakening, expansiveness, and power, a symphony of timeless significance unfolds.

Fifteen years after the end of the Second World War, the German diplomat Walter and his wife Lisa travel by ship from Europe to Brazil, where he is to take up a new position. Everything seems peaceful until Lisa unexpectedly notices a passenger on board who reminds her of Marta, a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp, where she worked as a guard. Lisa never told her husband anything about this past, and repressed it as best she could. But now images of her own involvement and guilt break out; the sea voyage leads inexorably into her own abysses.
