| Summary |
"Die Primadonna" by Olga Wohlbrück is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Karla König, a young and ambitious opera singer, as she navigates her personal and professional life within the challenging environment of the theater. The novel explores her relationships with her husband, Ernst Altmann, and the complexities of her career as she seeks to balance her aspirations with domestic expectations. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Karla's excitement upon discovering her pregnancy, a revelation she struggles to share amid the chaos of her husband's theater colleagues. We see glimpses of Karla's character, marked by her passion for singing and a desire for recognition, but also her dependence on Ernst, who plays a controlling role in both her career and their marriage. The opening scene captures the tensions between Karla's artistic dreams and the weight of societal expectations, setting the stage for her journey through love, aspiration, and the sacrifices she must make for her family and her art.
