As good as every music lover is acquainted with Der Freischütz, but the fewest are aware of Euryanthe. In the light of the musical quality of the opera, the disdain for it does not seem fitting. Euryanthewas Weber’s most ambitious project, one that anything but backfired. The composition may certainly be termed ground-breaking and truly deserves more attention. ‘A chain of glittering jewels from the beginning to the end. All witty and ingenious’, Robert Schumann in his critic about Euryanthe.
