Das Liebeskonzil: Eine Himmels-Tragödie in fünf Aufzügen

In a wildly inventive tableau, the heavens are turned into a bustling courtroom where divine authority teeters on the edge of absurdity. Three angels, dressed in pristine white with feather‑light wings, debate the very stability of God’s throne while bantering about celestial chores, late‑night sermons, and the strange sight of a teenage spirit insisting on a mass. Their sharp wit and playful sarcasm set the tone for a satire that pulls the sacred into the realm of the ridiculous.

Below the celestial stage, an eclectic cast of historical and mythic figures—popes, Borgia scions, courtesans, and even dead saints—converge as if summoned for a grand, chaotic council. The play‑like structure of the first act mixes theological debate with baroque intrigue, hinting at a larger conflict that mirrors the plague‑stricken world of 1495. Listeners are invited to watch the divine order wobble, while the absurdity of power and morality is laid bare in a voice that is both erudite and mischievously theatrical.
