Synopsis
To gain the hand of Agathe, the forester Max must win a sharpshooting contest. With its lush orchestration and themes of nature, folklore and the supernatural, this rarely performed gem is considered to be the first significant German Opera in the Romantic era and strongly influenced a whole generation of German composers, including the young Richard Wagner. Performed with 9-piece chamber ensemble and piano. Sung in German with English dialogue and supertitles.
