Die Unschuldsvermutung
Anticipation in Salzburg Festival: the new production of "Don Giovanni" is in its final rehearsals and the arrival of the famous conductor Marius Atterson is imminent. Unfortunately, the equally famous opera director David Roth feels so provoked during a rehearsal that he shoots himself offside with his impertinence. The festival president remains cool and persuades Beate Zierau - a director who is rightly regarded as particularly difficult - to join the production. A piquant choice, as Atterson and Zierau were once married.
