To Charles Kemble. pp.

My dear Sir!

herewith I send you the Finale of the Second act[^1]. it requires a great care in the execution of it if it shall effectuade entirely. I hope you will be convinced that the choruses in our Oberon are a substantial part of the opera, and that therefore you will give me good Singers.

[^1: In The Examiner, Nr. 939 (5. Februar 1826), S. 90 wird gemeldet: Two acts of Weber’s new Opera of Oberon, composed for Covent Garden Theatre, have, it is reported, already arrived in London, preparatory to its production at the ensuing Easter, which will take place under his own immediate superintendance. Fraglich ist, ob sich die Meldung auf die Übersendung des Finale II bezieht, oder ob nicht die vorhergehende Sendung der Akte I und II ohne das Finale gemeint ist.]

as I can not have your answer here at Dresden, I would be delighted if you were so kind to write me a few lines at Paris, where I hope to arrive in the last week of February. I should like to know if the Reharsals will begin very soon, and if the Opera will yet be performed on Easter-monday.

My Adress in Paris is at Maurice Schlesinger's Marchand de Musique du Roi. Rue de Richelieu 97.

with all my heart, I am sincerely Yuors CMvW:
Dr: d. 27t Januar 1826.
