Advantages being that it actually gets to be performed, and isn't ruined by a dull, over-literal stage production. It was a concert performance, for all the advantages and disadvantages that offers. But, in truth, I don't think I have lost anything by being slow. I suppose I should have written my blogpost at the time, in order to capture and reflect upon nuances, memorable moments. This was a concert performance, at the Barbican and I attended it over two weeks ago. I once read a description of him being the link between Donizetti and Wagner, which I think has a plausibility to it, even though it probably wouldn't stand up to scrutiny, and is probably quite meaningless anyway. And, as far as I can tell, it is rarely performed. Der Freischütz (usually translated as The Marksman or The Freeshooter) is an opera in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber with a libretto by Friedrich Kind.
