Weber’s ‘great heroic-romantic’ opera Euryanthe premiered in Vienna in 1823. It concerns the wronged Euryanthe, victim of a plot to establish her unfaithfulness, but her love imbues her with colossal strength which Weber characterises with acute psychological insight.

Through-composed and dispensing with spoken dialogue, its chivalric plot provides opportunities for a series of arias, ariosos, duets, cavatinas and choruses that contain some of his greatest operatic music. This production employs the opera’s original version with a few, very minor cuts.

Euryanthe by C.M. V. Weber, from Theater an der Wien, 2018. Directed by Christof Loy, Conductor Constantin Trinks, starring Theresa Kronthaler, Norman Reinhardt, Jacquelyn Wagner, Stefan Cerny, Andrew Foster-Williams and Eva Maria Neubauer. Performed in German and subtitled in English, German, French, Japanese and Korean.

Experience the world of German heroic opera with this sublime production of Carl Maria von Weber's Euryanthe. Less well-known than it deserves, this three-act opera is exemplary of the Germanic lyric style that predominated at the beginning of the Romantic era—in contrast to the Italian bel canto popularized by the likes of Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini—and that would later influence Wagnerian opera.

Constantin Trinks masterfully conducts the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra in this spectacular staging by Christof Loy at the prestigious Theater an der Wien, site of so many legendary moments in the history of classical music. The score paints a vivid tableau of the legend of Euryanth of Savoy, interpreted with agility and grace by soprano Jacquelyn Wagner opposite impeccable tenor Norman Reinhardt in the role of Adolar of Nevers, Euryanthe's betrothed. At the hands of Eglantine, a mutineer's daughter seeking refuge at Euryanthe's castle, treachery is afoot—putting the fates of each character in jeopardy...
