Recorded at the Saltzburger Festspiele in 2004, Semyon Bychkov conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in Robert Carsen's production of Strauss's comic opera, with performances by Adrianne Pieczonka, Franz Hawlata, Angelika Kirchschlager and Franz Grundheber.

Jens Neubert directs this filmed version of Carl Maria von Weber's romantic opera 'Der Freischütz', (The Marksman). The story follows Max (Michael König) and Kasper (Michael Volle), two hunters who, as well as fighting alongside each other in the Napoleonic Wars, are vying for the love of the beautiful Agathe (Juliane Banse).
