Bregenz Festival 2024: Der Freischütz

Synopsis

»Bull’s eye«, Carl Maria von Weber triumphantly wrote to his librettist Friedrich Kind following the enthusiastically received world premiere of Der Freischütz in 1821 in Berlin. With its emotional and gripping music, it soon became the epitome of the German Romantic opera. As one of the most popular operas in the German speaking world, Der Freischütz is now staged on the Seebühne for the first time with director and stage designer Philipp Stölzl and Conductor in Residence Enrique Mazzola. The two team up again in Bregenz following the phenomenal success of Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto.
