About
A godforsaken village in Germany shortly after the Thirty Years’ War: The young scrivener Max loves Agathe, daughter of the head forester Kuno. But to marry her, the inexperienced marksman Max must participate in an archaic tradition and score in a shooting trial – an unfulfillable challenge for him. The dubious war veteran Kaspar knows about this. He convinces the scrivener to meet him at Wolf’s Glen at midnight to forge “free bullets” that never miss their target. Max, who does not see any other way out of his unfortunate situation, sells his soul to the devil. Not knowing about the catch behind this deal: while six of the cursed bullets will hit the desired target, the seventh lies in the devil’s hands.

Bregenz Festival policy is to proceed with open-air performances even if the weather looks inclement. Please note that performances will go ahead outside even if it rains or there is a delay due to weather conditions. Therefore, we recommend visitors to bring waterproof clothing, but not umbrellas, because they obscure the view.
saying "gültig für Seebühne + Festspielhaus / keine Rückerstattung are valid for the semi-staged version in the Festspielhaus | Großer Saal, if the performance is cancelled or plays for less than 90 minutes. These tickets are non-refundable. If a performance is cancelled and moved to the Festspielhaus | Großer Saal, category 1 and category 1plus seats are located in the stalls, Lounge and Premium seats as well as category 2 seats in the circle. Seats that are next to each other outside may not be next to each other in the Festspielhaus | Großer Saal because of the different seating plan.
saying "gültig nur für die Seebühne" are valid only for the Seebühne. If the performance is cancelled and plays for less than 60 minutes, ticket holders may request a refund of the tickets or alternatively exchange the tickets for a later date (subject to availability).
