Our Fall Project is "Der Freischütz"
by Carl Maria von Weber!

This work is truly the ultimate inspiration for German "romantic" operas. Its innovation, colors, rich poetry, and supernatural elements led German opera into a whole new sphere of imagination and brilliance. At three monthly meetings, we will discover the opera's music, text, composer, the Staatsoper performers, and so much more. Meetings are free and held in Hamburg-Poppenbüttel on Friday mornings. Contact Elizabeth for the address and RSVP her directly.

During the second meeting we will become acquainted with the short and lively wandering life-story of our composer Weber, explore the light-filled romantic music inspired by Agatha, marvel at the supernatural tempest of the Wolfschlucht (Samiel speaks!), disect the influence of German folklore, and much more!
