Co-opera presents Carl Maria von Weber Der Freischütz

Approximate Running Times: Doors - 5:30pm Start - 6:00pm Der Freischütz comes to Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre for two performances only, on 23 and 24 October 2026. Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz is one of opera's great supernatural tales, a gripping story of love, temptation, fate and the mysterious forces lurking in the forest. First performed more than 200 years ago, this landmark of German Romantic opera combines beautiful music, folklore, suspense and the famously atmospheric Wolf's Glen scene. Presented by South Australia's Co-Opera as part of German Week Melbourne 2026. .
