About
Weber's 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 characterises 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.

August 2020
A superlative cast and thoughtful, illuminating production make for a revelatory experience of an opera long known for its insurmountable difficulties.
August 2020
Aiming at psychological truth, never sinking to melodrama or allowing the tension to drop—and, in his searching, mid-20th-century staging, ultimately making sense of a piece often dismissed as impossible—Loy takes the opera seriously...Jacquelyn Wagner is a thrilling exponent of the title role, her fluent lyric soprano fresh and full of feeling, her level of engagement stirring in what is overall a performance of extraordinary quality.
