Die Eroberung von Mexico

About the show

Cortez arrives in Mexico intending to conquer it, while Montezuma foresees disaster. Their attempts to communicate fail, and Montezuma becomes increasingly disturbed. After Montezuma dies, Cortez dreams before his statue; the funeral sparks a massacre between Aztecs and Spaniards. When everyone is dead, Cortez and Montezuma sing together for the first time.
