This vivid film of Wagner's romantic opera succeeds in conveying what has famously been called the wind that blows out at you whenever you open the score, including Daland's boat anchoring against the Sandwike cliffs, the red-sailed phantom ship, and the ghost crew rising from the dead.
In this production by the German artist Achim Freyer Weber's classic German opera is set in the style of a 19th century fairy tale but with the events in the plot seen through 20th century eyes. A blend of rustic humour a dash of the supernatural and the eventual triumph of good over evil Der Freioschutz has becomea much-loved work with international opera audiences.
