Director Laurent Pelly talks about bringing Meyerbeer's rich mix of romance and the supernatural to the stage. Find out more and buy tickets at http://www.roh.org.uk/robert


When Robert le diable opened at the Paris Opéra in 1831 it was an immediate success. Its blend of romance, the supernatural and grand spectacle was perfectly judged to meet the tastes of the French public and it made Giacomo Meyerbeer the star composer of grand opera. However, by the 20th century, Robert le diable had fallen out of favour and was rarely performed. Laurent Pelly's new staging brings this classic work to Covent Garden for the first time since 1890.
