Der Freischütz

Der Freischütz
“Oh my glorious German fatherland, how I must love you, how I must rave about you, if only because the Freischütz was written on your soil,” wrote Richard Wagner in Paris in 1841, thus working hard on the myth of the Freischütz as a German national opera. Achim Freyer's now legendary scandalous production from 1980 exposes the nightmarish quality that so often hides beneath the trivialized folkloric - then as now.

And nobody knows their way around there as well as the dazzling drag performers with whom director Bastian Kraft doubles Dvořák's forest and water creatures - experts in transformation and beautiful appearances in the spotlight.
