Part two of the Attems saga

Landpartie

Feiertag im Chorherren-Stift Vorau: Die Geschwister Attems kommen auf Besuch und haben ihrem Onkel Franz, dem Chorherren, festliche Geschenke mitgebracht. Die Palais Attems Hofkapelle spielt mit Meisterwerken von Antonio Vivaldi und Giovanni Battista Pergolesi zur Vesper auf, und das Gesinde hat rührende Gartenlieder vorbereitet. Schließlich soll der Tag in einem bunten Gartenfest ausklingen. Damit wollen Ignaz Maria und Marianne Attems ihren gestrengen Onkel, der gerade vom Maria Theresia in die kaiserliche Reformkommission berufen wurde, milde stimmen. Doch Onkel Franz denkt nicht daran, seiner flatterhaften Grazer Verwandtschaft entgegenzukommen. Er hat ganz andere Pläne.
