Inhalt: |
Webers great heroic-romantic opera Euryanthe premiered in Vienna in 1823. lt concerns the wronged Euryanthe, victim of a pIot to establish her unfaithfuIness, but her Iove imbues her with colossaI strength which Weber characterises with acute psychoIogicaI insight. Through-composed and dispensing with spoken diaIogue, 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 empIoys the operas original version with a few, very minor cuts. |
