In the opera’s plot, Max is a down-on-his-luck hunter who must win a shooting contest to gain his beloved Agathe’s hand in marriage. Having performed disastrously in a lead-up competition, he turns to a shadowy pact with the Devil to make sure he shoots surely in the all-or-nothing finals. But Mr. Snyder...
