Schauspielhaus Dresden/ Die Bürgerbühne KH3, 2014
Even today, the story of the ‘Freischütz’ fascinates by the transition of its protagonist from a convention-driven society to the dark and enticing world of the forest, which has accompanied us ever since Romanticism in the form of literary, musical and visual testimonies. Just as Max encounters the devil in the Wolfsschlucht gorge, so the Dresden border crossers have become exposed to their own abysses and dark experiences. Personal experiences meet traditions from folklore, superstitions, free bullets, hunting luck and shooting spells and of course music…. What the Bürgerbühne does here is more than simply to work with the ‘Freischütz’ material. Its ‘Expedition’ is more like a staged good programme booklet, which makes all possible facets of the story shimmer. Opera fans may see it differently, but that’s how you dig deeper into the aquifers than the most opulent opera production.”
