Der Freischütz, being produced by Opera on Tap Chicago, will be presented in Chicago for the first time in nearly 150 years! This opera, written by Carl Maria von Weber, is widely considered to be the turning point between Classical opera (like Mozart) and Romantic opera (like Wagner), and is produced frequently in Germany. The last major company to do it in the United States was The Metropolitan Opera in 1972 and Chicago audiences last saw it at the Crosby Opera House March 13th, 1871.

The story if one of a Sharpshooter (or Marksman) who finds himself unwittingly in league with the Devil as he attempts to win a shooting contest that will guarantee him both a job for life and his intended bride.
