Two tickets to the opening night performance of Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz (The Marksman), presented by Opera Boston at the Cutler Majestic Theatre.

To win a marksmanship contest and the hand of his beloved, a young ranger makes a deal with the dark side. Based on German folk legend, the story is set to foreboding, atmospheric music that pioneered the use of leitmotif in opera. From its famous overture to its exciting conclusion, Der Freischütz is a seminal work of German Romanticism and was a strong influence on Richard Wagner.
