Capella de la Torre: "Erzsébet Báthory - Countess Dracula?" Renaissancemusik aus Ungarn und Europa
In the organizer's words:
Renaissance music from Hungary and Europe as part of the concert project "The Art of Female Power - The Female Power of Art".
Was she really a "Countess Dracula" or the victim of political intrigue?
Erzsébet Báthory-Nádasdy (1560-1614) still has a dubious reputation today. Was she really a murderess or rather the victim of a political intrigue? The so-called "Countess Dracula" is said to have tortured and killed around 600 girls at her many castles, country estates and residences. After the death of her husband, Erzsébet inherited his entire fortune. She then acted in the role of head of the family, which was untypical for women at the time, and displayed inhuman cruelty towards her female subjects in particular. But is this all true, or did the countess become a defenseless victim of slander in the course of political intrigue? The historical truth probably lies somewhere between myth, history of violence and political instrumentalization. Follow the Capella de la Torre to Hungary into the dark dungeons of a deep black widow.
