Hunter's Bride (2010)
" …definitely a powerful music film… Particularly the cast is brought into picture by Neubert and Paalgard. They come close to the audience; even closer than in the legendary movie of Mozart’s »Zauberflöte« by Ingmar Bergmann." – Neue Zürcher Zeitung
"Opera is old-fashioned? No way! Hunter’s Bride proves that the opera content qualifies for the cinematic interpretation on the big screen… The experiment »Opera for the cinema« does not often happen to be that good. Picture and sound are conforming to a great unity!"
– Fonoforum
"A filmopera as Ingmar Bergmann’s »Zauberflöte« and Joseph Losey’s »Don Giovanni«! Outstanding orchestra and cast. Thrilling from A to Z." – Basler Zeitung
"This film certainly is a challenge for opera-fans, but it is a worthwhile experience that shows a new cinematic construction of sound and picture for the opera." – Art-TV
"All soloists are singing with a strong expression, lots of emotions and great intensity!"
– Die Opernwelt
"An opulent filmopera. A feast for eyes and ears."
– Diner’s Club Magazin
