Tannhäuser longs to return to his earthly life from the realm of Venus. It is only when the Virgin Mary invokes him that he succeeds in escaping the goddess. Hermann von Thuringia and his knightly hunting party welcome the long-lost man. The prospect of meeting his beloved Elisabeth moves him to return home. The essence of love is to be explored in a singing competition at the Wartburg. The invited singers sing of the purity of feeling, but Tannhauser praises the passion of Venus. The open confession of lust upsets society; They want to take action against Tannhäuser with weapons, but Elisabeth, although injured herself, protects his life. The landgrave ordered Tannhäuser to go to Rome to do penance. The pilgrims, however, return without Tannhauser; only he alone did not obtain papal forgiveness. He is threatened with eternal damnation, which he hopes to avoid by returning to Venus. The invocation of Elisabeth's name brings him to his senses again - in the face of her death his torn soul now also finds redemption.

The theater as a dream location: Based on the consideration that Venus and Elisabeth represent only two possibilities that one person is able to combine, Wagner's opera is the starting point for a stage play with the facets and possibilities of interpersonal interaction. Not only the medieval moral code, to which the characters in the play are ostensibly subject, is one of the determining levels, but also the changes in perspective that are possible through the conflicting dispositional characteristics in a person. The torn person is no longer the focus of attention, but rather the torn person much more than usual: Venus / Elisabeth. TANNHÄUSER from the point of view of a woman who is much more than just a whore or a saint.

"Since Ludwig the Mild, Landgrave of Thuringia, died on a crusade in the Orient, he left no children, and the land fell to his brother Hermann. At his time, minnesang flourished in Germany and was practiced and loved by princes and nobles, and Prince Hermann gathered many singers for his glittering court at the Wartburg. A time after him there lived a minnesinger in Franconia, who, like most of his fellow singers, led a wandering life. Then, as he was passing the Hörseelenberg, he was stopped by the appearance of a wonderful female image, which was none other than Frau Venus herself, and motioned to him to follow her into the mountain, and although the faithful Eckart had warned him too, the knight said but could not resist, and went in, and let Frau Venus ensnare me and stayed in the mountains for a whole year. Many old songs sing and tell how remorse has now come over Tannhauser, that he has collected himself and turned to himself and has longed to get out of the mountain again. When he said this, Frau Venus reminded him of the oath he had sworn to her, but Tannhauser denied it in her beautiful face. Thereupon she offered to give him another playmate instead of hers, but he said that if he did such a thing, he would have to burn in the embers of hell forever because of such polygamy. Then Frau Venus laughed out loud and asked him what he was talking about about the embers of hell. Had he ever felt this with her? Didn't her red mouth laugh at him at all hours? So the quarrel went on for a while until Tannhauser, in his ingratitude for all the love and good that Frau Venus had done for him, called her a she-devil. Frau Venus finally took offense at this and threatened to make him pay for it. Then Tannhauser yelled at the Virgin Mary to help him get rid of the woman, and then Frau Venus said proudly: Now he could go there, he could only take a leave of absence with the old man - he would still praise her. Now Tannhauser went penitently from the Venusberg and walked towards Rome to Pope Urban, to whom he lamented and confessed his sins and confessed that he had been with a woman named Venus for a year. The Pope held in his hand the high staff with the Roman double cross and spoke to the penitent singer: As little as the dry staff grows green here, you, who were in the favor of the devil, come to the favor of God! In vain did Tannhauser plead that years of penance be imposed on him, then he left eternal Rome full of sorrow and lamentation, complaining bitterly that the Pope's harsh word was separating him forever from Mary, the heavenly Servant, that God would not accept him , and cursed himself back to Mrs. Venus in the Hörseelenberg. She was already standing there, laughing brightly and mocking him like a devil: Welcome, Tannhäuser, my dear sir, I've been without you for quite a long time, my chosen lover! But on the third day after that, the Pope's staff began to green, and now the Pope sent messengers to all countries where Tannhäuser would have gone - but he was back in the mountain with his bad love..." ( Then, like him, he left eternal Rome full of suffering and misery and complained bitterly that the Pope's harsh word was separating him forever from Mary, the heavenly grace, that God would not accept him, and cursed himself back to Frau Venus in Hörseelenberg . She was already standing there, laughing brightly and mocking him like a devil: Welcome, Tannhäuser, my dear sir, I've been without you for quite a long time, my chosen lover!
