Premiere of Open Air Play at Zwinger Dresden

On November 6th the French-German TV channel arte.tv shows the recording of the Zwinger Open Air play 'The King's Mistress' at 2pm.

It tells the story of August the Strong and Countess Cosel.

Director Wedel said:

No baroque costume drama!
According to him the play won't be a Baroque costume drama. With the play "The mistress of the king," he wants to build a bridge between the past and the present. What August the Strong had moved, also does today and is neither outdated as was his great love for Countess Cosel.
