Amidst power games, intrigues and rather complicated relationships, we ask ourselves: How far is it acceptable to abuse one’s power? And what happens when women stand in solidarity with one another – even in Mozart’s day?

It’s about jealousy, lost love, genuine forgiveness and how quickly traditional gender roles can be shaken. Despite all the misunderstandings and complications, it becomes clear in the end that even in the greatest chaos, there lies the chance for change.

The episode is complemented by fascinating original audio clips from singers, intriguing insights from the director and perspectives from our podcast team – including exclusive background information on the story and the music of Mozart’s masterpiece.

Tune in now and experience the vibes of Oper Köln.
