Performer: Maximilian Krummen

At the Bregenz Festival, director Philpp Stölzl gives us a radical updating of the classic, with an interpretation many miles away from Weber.

A digital version of Toshio Hosokawa's disturbing opera uses lip-synched video to create remoteness between what we see and what we hear.

Director Michael Thalheimer staging Weber’s Der Freischütz entirely in the Wolf’s Glen, albeit relocated from a “fearsome forest gorge” to what looks like a badger’s sett. 

Als Experiment gestaltete das Internationale Opernstudio eine lange fällige Inszenierung dieser Oper - mit vielversprechendem Ergebnis.
