Description:
Giacomo Meyerbeer, born Jakob Liebmann Meyer Beer (1791-1864) was a German opera composer who established in Paris a vogue for spectacular romantic opera. He grew up in a wealthy Jewish family whose home served as a hub for Berlin's cultural elite, and he performed publicly as a pianist already at the age of eleven. Meyerbeer's early operas were written in Italian style, but after moving to Paris, his musical language evolved, and he became the leading figure of grand opéra, the fashionable operatic style of the time. He was the first composer to use the organ in opera, and he also introduced the bass clarinet and the saxophone to the genre. Le Prophète (The Prophet) is a grand opéra in five acts that took ten years to complete. (As Meyerbeer was financially independent, there was no urgency in delivering the work.) It premiered in Paris in 1849, and the plot is based on the life of John of Leiden, the Anabaptist leader and self-proclaimed "King of Münster" in the early 16th century. In the opera's fourth act, the magnificent Coronation March is heard — a piece that has become Meyerbeer's most famous work.
