Description: Left unfinished at the composer's death this comic opera, Die drei Pintos, whose plots centers on an attempt to sabotage an arranged marriage, had to wait until around the time of Weber's centennial before the first fully successful completion, by the twenty-six year old Gustav Mahler who conducted the primer in 1888. In the absence of the sketches for almost two-thirds of the opera, Mahler reconstructed a performing edition from the extant vocal parts by orchestrating the fragments and, additionally, re-scoring unfamiliar and unpublished music of Weber. While the completed work contains music almost entirely by Weber, the re-scoring and the conception are entirely Mahlerian. Wexford Festival Opera is acclaimed world-wide for it's courageous programming of neglected repertoire and it's high production values.
