Oberon was first performed on April 12th, 1826 at Covent Carden in London. "The whole nature of Oberon, then, both in its subject and in the method of treating it which Weber was led to adopt, is orchestral rather than vocal; yet the freshness and charm of his melodies is if anything at its peak in the disjointed numbers which comprise it." (Warrack, "Carl Maria von Weber," p. 326)
