Description With its outpouring of grand and memorable music, its atmosphere of magic and mystery and its dramatic depiction of good and evil, Der Freischutz is a gripping theatrical experience. This glorious Romantic work, immensely popular in many of the world's great opera houses, has not been staged in Australia for more than 100 years and is one of the most requested works in Opera Australia's history.
