Composer of the Week: Meyerbeer

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Meyerbeer's reputation today rests on operas commissioned forthe Paris Opera. His dominance there would eventually result in his being the most frequently performed composer during the 19th century. Donald Macleod describes Meyerbeer's arrival in Paris, his intoxication with the city and his first great success there: Robert le Diable.
