Webers 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 characterizes 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 operas original version with a few very minor cuts.
