The Casanova Variations
Synopsis
Casanova has accepted the Duke of Waldstein's proposition: he has become the librarian at the Chateau of Dux in Bohemia. Reaching the end of his life, he has started writing his Memoirs. It is here that he receives a visit from Elisa von der Recke, who is very interested in his manuscript. Casanova does not immediately recognize this highly charming woman: he had seduced her many years earlier, and she had wanted to die for him. Elisa's arrival is highly stimulating for the ageing Lothario, it is an opportunity for a new challenge (to conquer her), while also being threatening (he wonders what her true motivations are). Has she come to be given his text so as to publish it? Is she driven by curiosity, worried about what it may reveal about their relationship? Does she intend reading this coveted text and draw inspiration from it to write a loaded biography, like she did for Cagliostro in a book that was highly successful? For her host, Elisa's presence provokes a new lease of carefree...
