There are strong rumours that in two or three weeks' time Freischutz will be given, and I believe it will make a great stir. Of course it will be frequently performed, and rightly so, for it is already an event when our opera can put on Weber's famous work. However, considering the aim that Weber had in mind in his Freischutz, its Germanic substance, its queer romanticism, its extraordinarily recherche harmony (which particularly suits the German taste) one may reckon that the Warsaw public, accustomed to Rossini's light melodies, will begin by praising it not from conviction, but rather in imitation of the connoisseurs, and because Weber is highly thought of everywhere. |
