Der Freischütz

Synopsis

“Bull’s eye,” Carl Maria von Weber triumphantly wrote to his librettist Friedrich Kind after the enthusiastically received world premiere of Der Freischütz in 1821 in Berlin. With its emotional and gripping music, it soon became the epitome of German Romantic opera. As one of the most popular operas in the German-speaking world, Der Freischütz has now been staged on the Seebühne for the first time under the lead of director and stage designer Philipp Stölzl and conductor-in-residence Enrique Mazzola. The two teamed up again in Bregenz following their phenomenal success with Verdi’s Rigoletto. “The staging is overwhelming” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). “A small theatre miracle is taking place in Bregenz” (Der Tagesspiegel).
