"Carl Maria von Weber's classic German opera met with instant success on its premiere in Berlin in 1821. Within a short time it had spread throughout Europe. This production by Achim Freyer, is set in the style of nineteenth-century classic fairy tale but with the events in the plot seen through contemporary eyes. It has a blend of rustic humour, a dash of the supernatural and the eventual triumph of good over evil."
"Max must win a shooting competition to win the hand of his beloved Agathe and the position of head forest ranger. The duplicitous Caspar, a marksman who has sold his soul to the devil, procures for Max seven magic bullets, six of which cannot fail to hit their mark while the seventh will go whenever the devil chooses. Max is winning the competition with the magic bullets. When he is asked to shoot a white dove with the seventh bullet, Agathe falls in a faint. The bullet miraculously kills not Agathe but Caspar. Max must spend a year doing penance before he is allowed to marry."
