- "What is like hunter pleasure on earth?" The rhetorical question of hunters from Weber's "Freischütz" conjures up a society that sees the dream of freedom in the satisfaction of a "male demand" that the shotgun presents as a primary sexual feature. For Max, this hymn has to sound like a bare mockery, since it is a target -bourgeois malice, regardless of his lack of accuracy. For him, the wet and happy idyll becomes hell; The wolf gorge shows the true physiognomy of a social structure that tries to keep the wild animal of fear with ritualized customs in check. "The Freischütz" is considered a "German National Opera" - with a certain right, especially since this opera is far more than the romantic clichés that adapt it. In the "Freischütz" world, the aberrations of German history are reflected in the form of a troubling pandaemonium.
- 2007–TV Episode1855 marked a turning point in Jacques Offenbach's life. In this year he succeeded to get the license for a small theater. For this occasion he created over fifty one-act play in which the Offenbachsche society critique crystallized no less than in his full-length works - composed between 1855 and 1861.
