| Title Name | Oberon, J.306: Overture |
|---|
| Marketing Copy | His only opera in the English language, Carl Maria von Weber’s (1786-1826) OBERON, J.306 is based on a poem by Christoph Martin Wieland which is a retelling of the medieval epic romance Huon de Bordeaux. Due to financial necessity, he accepted the commission by Charles Kemble against the advice of his doctor. Completing the work in London, he strained his health under a tight schedule of rehearsals and social activities leading up to the opera’s premiere at Covent Garden on April 12, 1826. The OVERTURE evokes the woodland realm of the elves with its opening horn call and sprightly melodies. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). |
