Der Freischütz

"Because now director Alexander Nerlich and conductor Hermann Bäumer are coming with a reading that stands out far from the […] field of Freischütz interpretations. It stands out far through a deliberation that doesn't get stuck in the head, but is reflected on the stage can be seen and heard." (Frankfurter Rundschau)

"The dancer and performer Alessia Ruffolo clarifies [...] all the inner, often dark desires, longings and motives of each individual main character. As an androgynous, Mephistophelic appearance, Ruffolo seduces with cat-like suppleness, reveals the subtext of the libretto that seems so naive or winds with artistic Dexterity through the [...] unified set design by Wolfgang Menardi." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)

Only a single hit separates Max from his happiness. If he succeeds in making a successful test shot in front of the prince, forester Kuno grants him the hand of his daughter Agathe and the forester's office. But the fear of failure paralyzes Max and makes him resort to forbidden means. In the dark Wolfsschlucht, Kaspar seduces him to cast free bullets. Six of these magic bullets hit every imaginable target unfailingly. With the seventh bullet, however, the devil takes a human victim. The next day, when the seventh bullet was in Max's gun during the all-important test shot, all the bleak omens seemed to come true.

Carl Maria von Weber's Freischütz is considered the epitome of German romantic opera. With exuberant folksyness and gloomy horror scenarios, she tells of the intrusion of the irrational and repressed events into an apparently orderly world. After several productions in the play, resident director Alexander Nerlich is now dedicating himself to a classic of the opera repertoire for the first time in Mainz.
