Anticipation in Festspiel-Salzburg: The new production of “Don Giovanni” is in the final rehearsals, the arrival of the famous conductor Marius Atterson (Ulrich Tukur) is imminent. Unfortunately, the no less famous opera director David Roth (Simon Schwarz) feels so provoked in a rehearsal that he shoots himself offside with his lack of restraint. The festival president stays cool and persuades Beate Zierau (Catrin Striebeck) – a director who is rightly considered to be particularly difficult – to start production. A spicy choice, because Atterson and Zierau were once married.
