Emilia Galotti by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
QR code
"Emilia Galotti" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a play in five acts that premiered in 1772. This bourgeois tragedy unfolds in Italy, where an absolutist prince becomes obsessed with a virtuous young woman from the middle class on the eve of her wedding. His scheming chamberlain sets a sinister plot in motion to prevent the marriage, leading to murder, deception, and a devastating moral crisis. The play starkly contrasts aristocratic power with
enlightened bourgeois morality in a gripping conflict of conscience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
