1 Oberon ; Or, The Elf King's Oath (International) assertion James Robinson Planche , Carl von Weber (composer), 1826 single work musical theatre opera

Oberon ; Or, The Elf King's Oath is a 3-act romantic opera in English with spoken dialogue and music by Carl Maria von Weber, and a libretto by James Robinson Planche. The story is based on a German poem, 'Oberon,' by Christoph Martin Wieland, which itself was based on the epic romance Huon de Bordeaux, a French medieval tale. It was Weber's last work.

Contrasting the themes of Western chivalry and Oriental life, the storyline revolves around the mysteries of elf-land and the life of the spirits of air, earth and water.
