From 'Der Freischütz', a masterpiece of German Romantic opera, Ayako chose Ännchen’s aria—light-hearted, charming and full of mischief—which stands in stark contrast to the sublime prayer aria sung by Agathe, featured in her 36th episode. Regarding the music, you can listen more closely to the wind instruments, such as the oboe, which evoke the atmosphere of the hunt. Ayako hosts monthly music segment called VIVA! Opera for SBS Japanese.
