"Despite some sillinesses this is actually an enterprising Freischütz adaption, visually striking and with an excellent core performance. This is well worth an opening-minded look".

"Liberated from the theatre, opera 'on location' is less common, with patchy results usually ... Jens Neubert's Hunter's bride ... is an honourable exception ... It has a thoroughly cinematic feel ... Musically, the performance of the Overture alone by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Harding completely won me over ... There is a charming Ännchen from Regula Mühlemann, both vocally and visually ... She and Juliane Banse (Agathe) both hvae the right vocal weight without being too heavy".
