Oberon by C.M. v. Weber, from Bayerische Staatsoper, performed at National Theatre Munich, 2017. Directed by Nikolaus Habjan, conductor Ivor Bolton, starring Rachael Wilson, Annette Dasch, Anna El-Khashem, Johannes Kammler, Julian Prégardien, Brenden Gunnell and Alyona Abramowa. Performed in German and subtitled in French.

Oberon , a three-act romantic opera by Carl Maria von Weber, was first staged at London's Covent Garden in 1826—the final year of Weber's life—with an English-language libretto by James Robinson Planché that drew its inspiration in the medieval epic  Huon of Bordeaux . Under the always colorful and lively direction of Ivor Bolton, the orchestra brings brio and vigor to this 2017 production at the Munich Opera. The maestro has a gift for breathing life back into neglected repertoire, and he does so with aplomb here, vividly evoking the title character's poetic lyre.

The figure of Oberon has inspired more than one genius: the fairy king in the work of Shakespeare ( A Midsummer Night's Dream ) is also Alberich, ruler of the Nibelungen race of dwarves in Wagner's  Ring  cycle. According to medieval legend, Oberon helps Huon of Bordeaux in his feats and exploits—for he wields magical powers that can rescue travelers who lose their way in the woods. In the heart of magical forests and maddening labyrinths, Oberon is the guardian of love, representing all the possibilities of the night...
