Spohr had been newly appointed Hofkapellmeister in Kassel. He had reservations about Weber's recently performed Der Freischütz, and sought a subject that was poetic and uncomplicated, avoiding, in his setting, any spoken dialogue.

Ballets and spectacle were provided in set pieces that might also attract ordinary theatre-goers, in a German form of grand opera.
