A representative work of the so-called grand French opera, taking place in 13th century Palermo. Robert the Devil is also a mythical opera that does not lack supernatural powers fighting for the human soul. Similarly to medieval theatre the libretto of Robert the Devil does not strive to order the plot mechanically, but instead links a number of absorbing images with the aim of captivating the viewer. The work, which offers a splendid spectacle, brought its author commissions for other operas, among them The Huguenots, The African Woman and The Prophet.
Premiere: Dec 11, 1999
