成人快手 PROMS 2011
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Martin Handley
A rare chance to hear Weber's opera Der Freischutz, one of the cornerstones of German Romantic opera, reimagined by Berlioz for audiences at the Paris Opera. As originally composed, the work has spoken dialogue in German but, for the Paris production of 1841, Berlioz - a huge fan of Weber - replaced the dialogue with recitatives as well as adding the ballet expected by French audiences at the time.
Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducts, and tenor Andrew Kennedy as the forester-hero, Max, and the Belgian soprano Sophie Karthauser as his beloved Agathe lead the international cast in this dramatic tale of romance and magic.
