BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Katie Derham presents Lortzing's opera Der Wildschutz performed at Vienna Volksoper.

Katie Derham presents a performance of Lortzing's comic opera Der Wildschutz given at Vienna Volksoper. Starring Daniel Ochoa and Alexandra Kloose.

Today's Thursday Opera Matinee is a performance of Lortzing's comic opera Der Wildschutz from Vienna Volksoper. The schoolteacher Baculus's engagement celebrations are interrupted by a message from the Count dismissing him from his job for having shot a deer on the Count's land. To get back in favour, Baculus enlists his betrothed, Gretchen, and the Count's sister. After much mistaken identity and farce, it turns out that what Baculus actually shot was his own donkey.

Presented by Katie Derham.
