Carl Maria von Weber
In German with German and English surtitles
Romantic opera in three acts
Carl Maria von Weber's (1734-1812) opera has been a hit in the operatic repertoire since the 19th century. The dark forest as a realm of spirits and the archaic power of the wolf's gorge contrast with the regimented life of the village. The music finds impressive tones for both worlds, which have become symbols of romanticism.
