PROLOG: The opera opens with Zarah singing a schlager on a
podium, surrounded of a restless Germany before the Nazis
have come to power. People are being blown by the wind and do
not know what they should believe in or which direction they
should take. The various roles in the drama emerge in
fragments. The singer Zarah hones her artistry. Goebbels
reads ¨Mein Kampf¨.
