I am not exactly a fan of opera, but this is one of the most beautifull things I've ever seen / heard in my entire life!This is maybe because this masterpiece sounds less like a traditional opera.The romantism, the beauty, the tenderness, the well taste, the arrangements, the melodies, the singers, the choir are so incredible that I can hardly speak.I was listening to this, together with my 19 years old sun, who's a fan of rock and roll and plays eletric bass, and he too got astonished on what he was hearing, so marvelous it was.The scenario, together with the costumes are also a show appart.I strongly recomend "Der Freischütz" from Carl Maria von Weber to everybody whose looking for something realy superior, not only in quality, but also in spirit.
