Colonial Boston: where they have masked balls and it's chique to consult witches. ;) Btw, historical Gustav III. was Frederick II.'s nephew (his mother was one of Fritz' younger Sisters), so it occurs to me that the fictional Friedrich II tv series I told you about could have had Gustav guest starring and dramatically dying. With or without Verdi soundtrack.
Cut-off comments: I was going to say that if you want tenor/bariton bffs who don't betray each other, well, there's Tristan and Isolde where Tristan's best friend Kurwenal is devoted and faithful, and Tristan never acts like a jerk to him, either. (King Marke is a bass, but this is a Marke who is a good guy, and Tristan really does not want to betray him, still, it's kind of the story…) There's also Tannhäuser where Wolfram von Eschenbach is the faithful baritone bff who looks after tenor Tannhäuser's interests despite unrequitedly pining for soprano Elisabeth himself.
