Robert
le Diable
by
Giacomo
Meyerbeer is regarded as a musical milestone, a definitive statement
in the
lÇth-century
development of French grand
opéra
from the
tragédie lyrique
of Lully,
Rameau,
Gluck
and Spontini. The libretto by
Eugène
Scribe and Germain Delavigne was derived from the
medieval legend of Robert the Devil . First performed on
21
November
1831
at the Paris
Opéra,
the work brought Meyerbeer international celebrity.
Robert
le Diable
remains a legend in the annals of opera. The fascinating story reveals a complex
imagery and symbolism that touches on the deepest intuitions of human experience and personal
development, and exercises an archetypal unconscious appeal akin to the nature of fairy tales. The
musical language, richly melodic and theatrically powerful, looks back to Rossini and the
traditions of
bel
canto, and yet forges a new formal pliancy and dramatic urgency. The harmony
and orchestration, the melodramatic plot, and overwhelming stage effects (especially the famous
act
3
Ballet of the Nuns, a touchstone of dark Romanticism) confirmed Meyerbeer as the leading
opera composer of his age. His style fuses German counterpoint, Italian melody, French grandeur,
and unprecedented orchestral riches in a unique and overwhelming artistic blend.
Robert became one of the greatest successes in the history of opera. In the first two years of its
history it was given in
69
different theatres, and was performed
754
times at the Paris
Opéra
until
1893.
This huge success was reflected in more than
160
transcriptions, arrangements, paraphrases
and fantasias for the orchestra, military band, dance band, piano and other solo instruments
written between
1832
and
1955.
After many years of neglect, there is a resurgence of interest in
this work with its fascinating appeal.
This book is devoted to the story of this exceptional opera. It traces the origins, the
première,
the
performance history, and also considers the special characteristics of both the libretto and the
music. One of the most intriguing aspects of Robert
le Diable
was the nature of the iconography
generated by its most famous scenes. Artists and illustrators responded in many different ways to
the Gambling Scene, the Scene at the Cross, the Cloister Scene for the legendary Ballet of the
Nuns, and the great trio in act
5.
AH of these are examined in terms of the the many different
pictorial and plastic responses they inspired over some
60
years.
Robert Ignatins Letellier has specialized in the music and literature of the Romantic Period. He has studied
the work of
Giacomo
Meyerbeer (a four-volume English edition of his diaries, a collection of critical and
biographical studies, a guide to research, two readings of the operas, as well as compiling and introducing
editions of the complete libretti and non-operatic texts, and a selection of manuscripts facsimiles). He has
also written on the ballets of
Ludwig
Minkus, compiled a series of scores on the Romantic Ballet, a
sourcebook of the French
opéra-comique, a
study of
Daniel-François-Esprit Auber,
and edited anthologies of
Auber s overtures, ballet music, and a series of his operatic vocal scores.
