Music around Elisabeth Báthory-Nádasdy
Was she really »the female Gilles de Rais« or the victim of a political intrigue? Elisabeth Báthory-Nádasdy (1560–1614), who came from an important Hungarian noble family, is in no way inferior to the French child murderer and contemporary Jeanne d'Arc in terms of the number of her victims. She is said to have tortured and killed around 600 girls at her various castles, country estates and residences (including a city palace at Augustinerstrasse 12 in Vienna). After the death of her husband, Báthory inherited his entire fortune and then acted in the role of head of the family, which was rather untypical for women at the time. She displayed inhuman cruelty towards her subjects. Follow the Capella de la Torre into the dark dungeons of a jet-black widow – with Katharina Bäuml as your guide!
