CATEGORY: audio drama TITLE: Das Opfer Helena AUTHOR: Wolfgang Hildesheimer DIRECTOR: Heinz von Cramer PRODUCTION: Norddeutscher Rundfunk YEAR: 1961 RECORDING DATE: 1991-12-11 (Norddeutscher Rundfunk) DESCRIPTION: Amüsant und ironisch deutet Hildesheimer in diesem Hörspiel die Geschichte Helenas um: nicht von ihr spontan entflammte Leidenschaften waren der wirkliche Kriegsgrund, sondern sie wurde von Griechen und Trojanern gleichermaßen nur als Figur ihres diplomatischen Schachspiels benutzt. So wird Helena von ihrem Ehemann Menelaos aufgefordert, ihre bisher nur anstößige Unmoral endlich einmal politisch nutzbar zu machen und sich von ihrem Hausgast Paris entführen zu lassen, damit die Griechen einen Kriegsgrund gegen Troja haben. Paris scheint naiv und unschuldig - was Helena reizt, ihn tatsächlich zu verführen, aber im Grunde verfolgt er die gleiche Taktik wie Menelaos. Zwischen den skrupellosen Männern ist allein Helena wahrer Gefühle und klarer Kalkulationen fähig. CAST: Helena - Ruth Hellberg | Menelaos - Richard Münch | Hermione - Renate Danz | Paris - Horst Frank | Sendung anlässlich zum 75. Geburtstag von Wolfgang Hildesheimer PROVENANCE: digitized cassette tape, private archive of Winfried Noack FORMAT: WAV 44.1 KHz 16 Bit PCM, mono LANGUAGE: German

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
