Sinister Romance and Evocative Sounds at the Brentano Theatre
Johann August Apel's little-known story forms the literary basis for an extraordinary evening in Bamberg. The Legend of the Freischütz combines thrilling storytelling theatre with the dark soundscape of Carl Maria von Weber's famous opera.
A Romantic Thriller Between Forest Night and Abyss
Apel's narrative delves deep into the dark sides of the human soul. Ghostly motifs, mysterious forces, and the question of the price of human desires lend the evening the tension of a literary thriller. The romantic atmosphere unfolds not merely as a historical backdrop, but as a lively stage performance with hauntingly beautiful images in the mind.
Beate Roux Shapes the Sound of the Story
At the piano, Beate Roux accompanies the fantastic events with evocative sounds from Weber's opera Der Freischütz. Her musical arrangement creates a dense connection between spoken word, romantic orchestration, and dramatic timbre. Pianistic precision, atmospheric sound, and the synchronization of language and music give the concert experience its special intensity.
Apel, Hoffmann, and the Fascination of the Uncanny
Johann August Apel and his contemporary E. T. A. Hoffmann shared a fascination for the fantastic and the hidden forces behind the visible world. The evening invites a comparison of their literary haunted worlds. At the same time, Apel's winking view reminds us that even the question of ghosts seems less straightforward than the undeniable existence of ghost stories.
An Intimate Concert Experience at the Brentano Theatre
The Brentano Theatre is considered Germany's smallest theatre and offers an exceptionally immediate live atmosphere with its very limited seating capacity. Proximity, clear acoustics, and the concentrated audience mood enhance the impact of voice and piano. Every tone gets space, and every turn of the story comes directly to the audience.

Those wanting to discover the legend behind Weber's Der Freischütz and experience a uniquely dense stage atmosphere will find a rare concert experience at the Brentano Theatre. This story deserves to be heard live.
