Regina von Emmeritz: Näytelmä viidessä näytöksessä

In the shadowed tower of Emmeritz Castle, a handful of clerics and strategists gather around a battered table, a cracked map of Germany spreading across the stone wall. Cardinal Attilio Sforza presents a papal mandate that promises limitless authority, while the younger Anselm argues for safeguarding the church’s treasures against an advancing Swedish force. Their heated debate is laced with references to recent battles, ominous prophecies, and the weight of ancient vows, setting a tone of urgent intrigue.

The play unfolds as these opposing voices clash over faith, power, and survival in a war‑torn landscape. Listeners will hear richly drawn characters wrestling with loyalties to Rome, fear of foreign invaders, and the moral cost of protecting sacred relics. The language is vivid and rhythmic, pulling you into a world where every decision echoes the fate of kingdoms and the soul of the church.
