Le prophète
The fusion of dramatic music, melodramatic plot, and sumptuous staging in "Robert le diable " proved a sure-fire formula, as did the partnership with Scribe, which Meyerbeer would go on to repeat in "Les Huguenots", "Le prophète", and "L'Africaine". All of these operas held the international stage throughout the 19th century, as did the more pastoral "Dinorah" (1859), making Meyerbeer the most frequently performed composer at leading opera houses in the nineteenth century.
