description

This paper focuses on the reception of Giacomo Meyerbeer's Le prophète in Italy during the Nineteenth Century. It is divided in two parts: the first deals briefly with general issues about Meyerbeer’s reception in Italy, in order to provide a context to the discussion about Le Prophète. In the second part I’ll begin with some statistics about Le Prophète’s performances in Italy; I’ll go on discussing some relevant performances such as the Italian première in Florence, and the Turin’s and Parma’s productions. I’ll also discuss some examples of Meyerbeer’s criticism in the Italian press.
