Quite a few composers and poets dedicated themselves to female luminaries in the world of legends and history as early as the Baroque era. Vivaldi composed his only surviving oratorio Juditha triumphans about the biblical figure of "Judith triumphant over the barbarism of Holofernes". By no means a randomly selected subject, by the way, but conceived and understood at the time as an allegory of the Venetians' victory over the Turks in the context of the Battle of Corfu.

A real rarity is the Medea by Georg Anton Bendas, which was created in 1775 at Gotha's Ekhof-Theater. The work is one of the first melodramas in the history of music – an artful structure in which spoken text and music complement, overlay and mutually stimulate each other. The language here has to stand up to the music with similarly extreme means of design, which causes the highest drama and pathos. With Martina Gedeck as narrator, a strong woman also stands up to the music - a character actress who prefers torn characters on the screen and who herself cannot be pigeonholed. A woman for goosebump moments!
