With the Sanssouci Palace, Frederick the Great established his own Eden in Potsdam. Surrounded by a terraced garden that is actually a vineyard, the king created a haven for philosophy and music. ĀRT HOUSE 17 enters the enchanting park of Sanssouci to the music of Graun, Quantz, Bach and Gluck in a music theatre performance around the complex figure of Frederick, with a surprising touch of commedia dell'arte.
