Zum 300. Geburtstag von Giacomo Casanova "Auch die schönste Frau ist an den Füßen zu Ende"

Mon, Mar 31, 2025, 09:05

Moderation: Katharina Eickhoff, mit Matthias Habich als Casanova

Don Giovanni's list of seduced women pales compared to Giacomo Casanova, a true lover of women. His exciting life was more than just a libertine's journey. He was a soldier, musician, secretary, entrepreneur, kabbalist, conspirator, diplomat, prisoner, writer, and socialite. His memoirs paint a vivid panorama of 18th-century Europe, featuring encounters with royalty, clergy, philosophers, and charlatans, always with a musical backdrop.
