Esther Schweins in the "Noble Ladies' Convent of St. Anne"?
This is only available in the "Theaterlandschaften", this time from Würzburg, where exactly 200 years ago the Damenstift was converted into a theater to enrich the traditional residential city on the Main with another cultural gem.
The Würzburg theater quickly gained a reputation for being the starting point for very talented young people.
At the beginning of his career, the then 20-year-old Richard Wagner was a "choir rehearser" and "head of pantomime" in Würzburg.
Today, his great-granddaughter Katharina Wagner also works at the house and made her debut as an opera director in 2002 with the production of "The Flying Dutchman".
Esther Schweins presents the exciting history of the house and examines its significance for Würzburg and the Franconian region.
In addition to the opera singer Waltraud Meier and the artistic director Hermann Schneider, the winemaker Ludwig Knoll and the author Peter Roos also have their say.
Esther Schweins also explains what Edith Piaf has in common with the Mainfranken Theater.
