Sales Points
Axel Köhler’s production of Der Freischütz at the Dresden State Opera was described by Die Presse as “a minor
miracle in Dresden”. In the words of the Salzburger Nachrichten, Köhler “scored a bulleye” with his sombre and
satanic interpretation of Weber’s Romantic opera about love, temptation, souls sold to the Devil, obsession and
faith. According to the Financial Times, Christian Thielemann and the Dresden Staatskapelle conjured up a sense
of “mortal terror from the orchestra pit. […] Thielemann is in command of every detail. That makes for utterly
gripping listening.”

PRESS QUOTES
•
„Bassbombastic“ Die Welt about Andreas Bauer
•
„Michael König’s sullen Max has a gloriously free upper register and heroic weight; Sara Jakubiak makes a
sweet-toned, melancholic Agathe.” Financial Times
