Abstract

Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz (‘The Freeshooter’) is the most influential of early Romantic operas. First performed in Berlin’s Schauspielhaus in 1821, it took Germany and then Europe by storm, with international audiences drawn not just by Weber’s music but also by the Faustian drama of Johann Friedrich Kind’s libretto, which took its story from German folklore, and the spectacular Gothic staging of the dreaded Wolf’s Glen.
