High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert le diable (Robert the Devil) is an opera by Giacomo Meyerbeer, often regarded as the first grand opera. The libretto was written by Eugene Scribe and Casimir Delavigne and has little connection to the medieval legend of Robert the Devil. The dramatic music, harmony and orchestration of Robert, its melodramatic plot, and its sensational stage effects (especially the ballet of the nuns) made it an overnight success and instantly confirmed Meyerbeer as the leading opera composer of his age. The opera was the first new production by the new manager of the Opera, Louis Veron, and its success underwrote his policy of commissioning similar works, which were to include Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots, Fromental Halevy's La Juive, and Daniel Auber's Gustave III.
