A tale of hunters and the forest. What will happen to a love sought with a magic bullet?During the period when Italian opera swept all before it, the appearance of this work, set in a German forest and taking the form of a Singspiel (a German musical drama with spoken parts in addition to the singing) was a radical innovation. With this monumental work of German Romanticism, its composer has come to be regarded as the founder of German opera. The dramatic orchestration was a major influence on both Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss, and the chorales, given as much weight in this composition as the arias, make for splendid listening. Conducted by Dan Ettinger, who has demonstrated his outstanding talents at the New National Theatre Tokyo, you are sure to enjoy this woodland romance. |

SynopsisThe seventeenth century, in the forests of Bohemia. The young hunter Max is in love with Agathe, daughter of the chief warden of the forest. If he can win a marksmanship competition he will have Agathe’s hand in marriage and succeed her father as warden, but his shooting is off. Kaspar, a hunter who has sold his soul to the Devil, convinces Max to use magic bullets in the competition, which he receives at midnight in the Wolf’s Glen. At the competition, with the Prince presiding, the Devil’s will ensures that Max’s final bullet fells Kaspar. Max confesses the secret of the magic bullets to the Prince, who is about to banish him from the realm, but a hermit who has been witness to all the proceedings intervenes on his behalf, and the Prince relents and forgives Max. |
