Set in a mountainous and thickly wooded Bohemian landscape in the 17th century, Carl Maria von Weber's ópera "El cazador furtivo" (The Marksman) tell the tale of Max, a young gamekeeper. Max is in love with Agathe, daughter of the head ranger to Prince Otakar. To win her mano, ancient custom requires Max to prove his habilidad as a marksman on the morning of the wedding by shooting at any object the Prince may choose on the spur of the moment. Max is willing to do anything, absolutely anything to succeed - even at the cost of selling his soul to the demon Samiel. Recorded live at the Zurich Opera House, 1999.
