A three-act German opera by Giselher Klebe and Lore Klebe based on Ödön von Horváth’s play of the same title.
Set in late 1918, the play follows Don Juan's disorientation on returning from the First World War as a celebrated hero, his love for a woman who died in the war, and his death at her grave.
Fleeing a revolution, the Count’s household is captured at a border by the Major, who seeks power over them. The Major reveals Angelika is the Count’s child and that Serafin is the child of the Countess and Cherubino. Figaro and Susanna quarrel over whether to have a child; Susanna encounters Cherubino, now a bar proprietor, who employs her as a chanteuse. The Countess rejects the Major’s blackmail and tells the Count Serafin’s parentage; Susanna reveals she is pregnant by Cherubino. Figaro helps the family escape, shooting Cherubino. The Major’s plan to trap them at the castle fails: Figaro, Susanna, Angelika and Serafin escape through a secret passage while the Count and Countess remain.
A two-act sequel to Beaumarchais’s Figaro plays, following some of their characters during the French Revolution.
In late-1920s Austria, Marianne breaks her engagement to the conventional butcher Oskar for the charming but indifferent Alfred. Her choice leads to poverty and hardship, while the play exposes the cruelty and hypocrisy beneath Viennese bourgeois coziness.
