Weber's childhood was in a theatrical environment as the family was part of his father's touring theatre company. He had been born in 1786 in Germany and given the names Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber. His education was haphazard as the company toured, but he probably received some music lessons from his elder half-brother. We do know that on the visit to Salzburg, he took lessons from no less than Michael Haydn, and with the help of the Munich court organist, Kalcher, composed an opera at the age of 13. It was sadly destroyed by a fire at Kalcher's home.
