About

After an overture that combines skill with individuality, Peter Schmoll unfolds over a succession of 20 colourful scenes. This was the usual format for musical comedies of the time, one that was used for some three decades. In Peter Schmoll, we catch glimpses of Weber’s noted lyricism that was to permeate Der Freischütz, written fifteen years later in 1817.

“Yesterday, with genuine pleasure I attended a kind rehearsal of the opera ‘Peter Schmoll und seine Nachbarn’ by my pupil Mr. Carl Maria von Weber, and I cannot help attesting with truth, ... that I consider it only right and proper that I recommend this, my favourite pupil, be welcomed by the entire musical and sensitive world.” – Johann Michael Haydn (1802)
