¡Meyerbeer: Le Prophete
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] The Netherlands in the 16th century. At that time, a young man needed permission from the count of his domain to marry. Therefore, Berthe and Fidesz, the mother of her fiance Jean, go to the Count of Obertal, but the Count sees Berthe's beauty, captures Fidesz to get her, and demands Jean to give Berthe to him. In desperation, Jean is visited by three monks. They tell Jean that he is a "prophet" and that he must defeat the Count... In this masterpiece by Meyerbeer, known for his "Coronation March," the leading role is not played by a tenor or soprano, but by a mezzo-soprano in the role of Fidesz. It took ten years for Meyerbeer to get the best singers, and there have been so many changes in the script and the composition process that even today there is no final draft. The 2017 performance in Essen will be based on the latest "Comparative Revision. This is the first recording of the work in this edition, which is based on a full score published by Brandus in the 19th century and incorporates the results of various studies.
