About this event

Co-opera stages Weber's Der Freischütz, the first German romantic opera, at Athenaeum Theatre Two. The tale follows a young forester who unknowingly strikes a Faustian bargain to win his beloved's hand, set against a brooding forest landscape. Beneath the supernatural drama sit enduring themes of fate, temptation, and the tension between the natural and otherworldly. Doors 5:30pm, curtain 6:00pm.
