Hunter’s Bride is a film opera based on the romantic opera Der Freischützby Carl Maria von Weber. The pictures of Norwegian director of photography Harald Gunnar Paalgard give a spatial dimension to the unique sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, which recorded in the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Performed by renowned opera soloists—Juliane Banse, Michael König, Michael Volle, René Pape—the film opera was a huge public success in European theatres. Filmed on 35mm film on original locations in Germany, the film opera dramatizes the enchanted tale with stunning images, and surround-sound revives the music for the eyes and the ears of the audience.
