Dr. Michael Hoelzl is discussing with Christian von Treskow who is the director of a contemporary interpretation of Friedrich Schiller’s play ‘Mary Stuart’ on Sunday 22nd March 2014 at the Opernhaus Wuppertaler Bühnen in Germany. The theme of this public discussion (Matinée) is the constellation of Faith, Power and Politics as it is exemplified by the struggle between Queen Elizabeth I. and Mary Queen of Scots. Faith, Power and Politics circumscribe the very important political and legal issue of the concept sovereignty today. The subtitle of Schiller’s play seem to anticipate of what came shortly after the execution of Queen Mary in 1587 , the writing of the play by Schiller in 1800 and its rediscovery by Stefan Zweig in the 20th century (1935): A tragedy.
