High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Oberon, or The Elf King's Oath is a romantic opera in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber to an English libretto by James Robinson Planche, after a German poem, Oberon, by Christoph Martin Wieland, which itself was based on the story Huon de Bordeaux, a French medieval tale. Commissioned by Charles Kemble, Weber undertook the project against his doctor's advice for financial reasons. Having been offered the choice of Faust or Oberon as subject matter, he travelled to London to complete the music, learning English to be better able to follow the libretto, before the premiere of the opera. However, the pressure of rehearsals, social engagements and composing extra numbers destroyed his health and Weber died in London on June 5, 1826.
