Vienna, 1772
Sophie is desperate for work. Countess Wielopolska is desperate to hold her country together. Chancellor Granitz is desperate not to be found out. And the Prussians are desperate to get their dispatch back. |
Munich, 1772
Fearful of Granitz' wrath, Sophie is working in a beerhall under the name Maria Süssmayr. But when her friend Leni Vossler asks her to help find a missing priest, it's the wrath of the Jesuit Order she'll have to fear. |
Venice, 1774
Violent moneylender Corona told Sophie not to come back to Venice, so she shouldn't be guarding Habsburg archduchess Isabella there - any more than Isabella should fall for would-be librettist Larry da Ponte. |
