In a theatrical song recital, "Dort wo du nicht bist," pianist Mark van Nispen and young tenor Koen Masteling, along with director Corina van Eijk, explore four friendships. Central to the work are the encounters between Johan Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller in Jena, and the friends Franz Schubert and Johann Mayerhofer, who lived together in Vienna. How did the mutual adoration, so characteristic of both friendships, influence the work of these artists, and how open was the affection between these men in two cultural breeding grounds at the dawn of the Romantic era?
