Weber

The premiere of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz on June 18, 1821 was a highlight of the opening year of what is known today as the Berlin Concert Hall. The work became his most popular opera and one of the key works of the 19th century. Principal conductor Christoph Eschenbach is being joined in this program, which combines overtures, arias and the famous concert piece, by two artists who reside at the Konzerthaus Berlin and are also Alpha artists: soprano Anna Prohaska and pianist Martin Helmchen.
