The 39-year-old singer Iris Schiffer is driven, self-confident and on a good career trajectory: She is about to make her debut at the Met in the role of Cherubino in Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro”. Unexpectedly, she is also offered a leading role at the Salzburg Festival. But the best news is her pregnancy, which Iris initially does not reveal to the two possible fathers nor her agent, especially since the premiere in Salzburg and her due date are close together. Andrea Grill explores the topic of a confident woman who is only gradually ready to accept her pregnancy. She only takes what she needs from men. Because what counts is her and her child.
