Оберон, или Клятва короля эльфов — это романтическая опера в 3-х актах Карла Марии фон Вебера на либретто английского драматурга Джеймса Планше, вдохновленная одноименной поэмой Кристофа Мартина Виланда, которая, в свою очередь, имеет корни в долгой традиции средневековых текстов, включая эпическую поэму Les Prouesses et faitz du noble Huon de Bordeaux, датируемую XIII веком. По совету Чарльза Кембла, директора театра Ковент-Гарден, Вебер также черпал вдохновение из некоторых пьес Шекспира, таких как
Сон в летнюю ночь и Буря. Результат оказался ошеломляющим успехом, и публика потребовала повторения Увертюры Оберона! Произведение было создано 12 апреля 1826 года, и в последующие недели здоровье Вебера быстро ухудшилось. На самом деле, композитор умер 5 июня того же года.

In a magical setting, Weber’s Oberon tells the story of the King of the Elves, who wants to regain the trust of his mistress, Titania, the Queen of the Fairies. For this purpose, the world of men and the reign of magical creatures blend together and the love between the knight Huon and Princess Reiza is put to the test. Supernatural journeys, enchanted horns, visions of the night... Weber’s Oberon mixes elements of Greek romance with the Shakespearean plot, a taste for Orientalism with some romantic adventures—and the result is unique! Yet, despite this, Weber was not satisfied with the libretto of Oberon, but he unfortunately died during the revision of its text. Many composers, thereafter, tried to adapt or restore the opera, including Gustav Mahler or Franz Liszt. Let yourself be surprised by the beauty of Fairyland and enter the court of Oberon!
