## Description

Product Description Hunter's Bride" is a film opera based on the romantic opera Der Freischütz" by Carl Maria von Weber. Dreams and hopes of young people are told in this exquisite fairy tale. Max and Kaspar, both hunters, fight side by side in the Napoleonic Wars, as well as each other to conquer Agathe's love. European cultural history becomes visible in an opulent historical panorama and one of the most beautiful pieces of music. The pictures of Norwegian director of photography Harald Gunnar Paalgard give a spatial dimension to the unique sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, which recorded in the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Performed by renowned opera soloists - Juliane Banse, Michael König, Michael Volle, René Pape - the film opera was a huge public success in European theatres. Filmed on 35mm film on original locations in Germany, the film opera dramatises the enchanted tale with stunning images, and surround-sound revives the music for the eyes and the ears of the audience. Review "Neubert has certainly succeeded in breathing real life and excitement into Wagner's supernatural tale through marvelous cinematography and surround sound... The cast features superb singing actors who are absolutely believable in their cinematic performances." --Henson Keys, Opera News, February 2014

Review: Wonderful project - This is what a filmed opera should be -- vibrant, wide dynamic range, beautifully set. You hear the sound of artillery, wagon wheels going by, laughter, sounds of peasants at work and play because that is what the opera is about. Staged opera strives to incorporate some of that into its presentation, but is limited. Filmed opera, however, can carefully mix the soundtrack so you get wind as a backdrop to emotional turmoil, thunder to signal something ominous, laughter to enhance an intimate duet, giving it a very personal touch. Close ups render a chamber opera feel while pans give one the feel of sitting back in the mezzanine, taking in the whole of it. The singing is excellent and the orchestra is quite fine. Someone else wrote that the music was fine when you could hear it over the sound effects and I honestly don't know what they were talking about. If having an opera come alive is too distracting, it is best to stick to a studio recording. But this production is well designed and well executed. I'm grateful for the chance to experience it.
Review: Fascinating production of a von Weber opera! - This is a DVD consisting of a film production of the opera “Der Freischutz – The Marksman”, featuring a dynamite cast – including Rene Pape as the Hermit. The choral work is amazing, and as the liner notes indicate, over two years was spent casting this film. Over 600 people were employed in the Dresden area during the making of this film, which was shot in 35mm. Kudos goes to Juliane Banse, for her wonderful vocal work and very believable acting. She’s a delight. It should be noted that this is not a film of an opera production – rather, it is a film of the opera singers acting and singing in the production. While I enjoyed the story itself (particularly the bullet fabrication scene with the special effects available to a current film maker), I had trouble not being distracted by the fact that the operatic singing seemed to not quite match the singing I was seeing on screen. They weren’t out of sync – not at all – but I could tell that what I was hearing did not exactly correspond to what I was seeing. As it turns out, the singing was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London and then matched with the film. And while it is matched really well, it took me a while to get past that. All that being said, the music is *wonderful*. The liner notes are informative, and give background on Weber’s life and the creation of the work. There is also a question and answer section in the booklet that is illuminating about the process of putting together the film and what the director was trying to accomplish. This is a solid, enjoyable film, and is definitely worth seeing even if you haven’t seen the opera before in person.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A work of art
*by A***U on September 2, 2014*

Opera lovers have always stated that opera encompass various art forms. This film opera just shows that the art of filming can also be part of the art forms that make opera great. Producing a film opera allows for interpretations and expressions that are not possible on the stage opening new creativity capabilities. This film opera is very well done, with a clear interpretation. The music, orchestra and excellent singers are of very high quality, as is the recording sound. One interesting aspect of filming an opera is the sound combination of the music, orchestra and signers, with the noises available on a film like falling stones, wind, steps over fallen leaves, etc. I am sure there are many opinions on what the best mix should be, depending on personal preferences. Every new technology, when applied to art, allows for exploration of new possibilities, and creates new dilemmas. For this film opera, I found the sound combination appropriate and enhancing the overall experience. The magic aspects of Der Freischutz have never been easy to stage. This film allows a much easier portrayal of magic without being overwhelming while keeping the human aspects on the forefront. I strongly recommend this film to every opera lover, and to those who have not watched this opera before. You will be surprised how many arias you will recognize from casual listening.
