Oberon received five performances this season.
Bodanzky eliminated all dialogue, arranging recitatives-the words were adapted by Theodore Baker-from motives in the score; he also added an orchestral version of Weber's Momento Capriccioso Op. 12 for piano as an interlude between Scenes 1 and 2 of Act II.
