Le prophète
The musical and theatrical influences of the opera can be felt in, amongst others, Liszt's monumental Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale "Ad nos, ad salutarem undam" for organ which is based on the Anabaptists' chorale, the duet between mother and lost child in Giuseppe Verdi's "Il trovatore", and the catastrophic finale of Richard Wagner's "Götterdämmerung". The tremendous success of "Le prophète" at its Paris première also provoked Wagner's anti-Jewish attack on Meyerbeer, "Das Judenthum in der Musik".
