June 2022, Wolf Trap National Park for Performing Arts, Der Freischütz, opera by Weber, director R.B. Schlather, conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya, set Jian Jung,  costumes Mattie Ullrich, light Masha Tsimring,  choreography Nicole von Arx, photos Scott Suchman

“Director R.B. Schlather deftly walks a porous boundary, casting this primordial paroxysm of German-ness as a dialogue between its naïve and moralistic narrative with its outsized legacy, while letting an excellent cast of young singers thrive in the intimate environment of Wolf Trap’s Barns, a venue perfectly suited to this sharpshooting show.”
