In the context of Romantic music, the reasons for the emergence of German opera are as follows.

1. In Europe at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the political situation was turbulent. People were disappointed with the "kingdom of reason" envisioned by Enlightenment thinkers. The pursuit of the development of personal subjective emotions and the emphasis on individual liberation became the literary and artistic themes of the time. .

2. Influenced by the bourgeois revolution, literature and art from the late 18th to the early 19th century generally had a strong romantic flavor.

3. German romantic literature and music also produced a large number of masterpieces, such as poems, novels, dramas and musical works.

4. Weber's "The Magic Bullet" became the first romantic opera. This work is based on German folklore, describing the mysterious power of the forest and the love story of the shooter, showing a strong national color and a strong personalization tendency.

5. The production background of German romantic opera is inseparable from the social, cultural and political background of the time. Its works emphasize the expression and individualization of personal subjective emotions, and at the same time have a strong national flavor.
