Der Freischutz

Carl Maria Von Weber may have been overshadowed by that monolith of Romantic German opera, Richard Wagner, but his work is still lauded by many, particularly the opera DER FREISCHUTZ. First performed in Berlin in 1821, the opera was applauded by legendary composers like Beethoven, Berlioz, and Wagner himself. This performance was staged in 1999 at the Hamburg Staatsoper under the music direction of Ingo Metzmacher. Jorma Silvasti, Charlotte Margiono, Albert Dohmen, and Sabine Ritterbusch star.
