Wilhelm Arndt has it all: a loving wife, a long-awaited promotion, and an unexpected inheritance. Life is golden—until Peter Vogel, an old friend from the past, arrives unannounced. With just one word, Peter’s cordial visit turns to a roller-coaster of emotional chaos, sending Wilhelm into a suspicious frenzy with hilarious results.

Composed in 1914 by a 17-year-old Erich Wolfgang Korngold—decades before his Oscar-winning Hollywood triumph The Adventures of Robin Hood—this sparkling comic opera brims with youthful brilliance, lyrical charm, and a dash of psychological intrigue. Romantic, clever, and strikingly modern, The Ring of Polykrates is a witty reminder: be careful what you wish for—perfection is a fragile thing.
