Weber: Der Freischütz

The story unfolds in a troubled village where Max, a young scrivener, is in love with Agathe, the daughter of the village forester. To win her hand in marriage, Max must prove himself in a challenging shooting trial, a task complicated by his lack of experience.

Kaspar, a war veteran, tempts Max to meet him at Wolf’s Glen to create "free bullets" that will never miss. Driven by desperation, Max agrees to this dark pact, unaware of the dire consequences that come with it. The narrative explores the tension between ambition and morality, culminating in a gripping tale of fate and deception.

With a cast that includes Franz Hawlata, Christof Fischesser, Mauro Peter, and Moritz von Treuenfels, this production captures the essence of Weber's opera in a visually compelling format. Collectors of filmed operas and music enthusiasts will appreciate this adaptation's unique combination of storytelling and musical performance.
