Summary:
Wagner said this early-Romantic gem was the most German of German operas. Its irresistible mix of colorful folklore, the spooky supernatural, a tender romance, and the passionate struggle between good and evil are all captured in Weber's tuneful and dramatic score. The cast in this rare U.S. performance is sensational: Sándor Kónya as our hero, the forester Max, who must win a shooting contest in order to marry his beloved Agathe (the ravishing Pilar Lorengar), despite the dark plotting of Caspar (Gerd Feldhoff).

Overture
Victoria, Victoria
Was gibt's hier?
O diese Sonne
Waltz
Nein! Länger trag' ich nicht die Qualen
Durch die Wälder, durch die Auen
Da bist du ja noch, Kamerad!
Hier im ird'schen Jammerthal
Bube! Agathe hat Recht
Schweig'! Schweig'!
Schelm, halt' fest!
So nun wird der Altvater wohl wieder
Kommt ein schlanker Bursch gegangen
Und der Bursch nicht minder schön
Wie nahte mir der Schlummer
Leise, leise
Lieber Max?
Wie? Was? Entsetzen!
Uhui! Uhui
Samiel! Samiel! Erschein'!
Trefflich bedient!
Hier, erst das Blei
Und ob die Wolke sie verhülle
Du hast geweint?
Einst träumte meiner sel'gen Base
Horch, da kommen die Brautjungfern schon
Wir winden dir den Jungfernkranz
Jägerchor (Huntsmen's chorus) Was gleich wohl auf Erden
Genug nun der Freuden des Mahles
Schaut, o schaut
Nur du kannst dieses Räthsel Lösen
Wer legt auf ihn so strengen Bann?
