2 characters--Robert and Bertram. There is a cross between "Phantom of the Opera" and "Faust" here. There is also a feeling of "Man of La Mancha" here in this Meyerbeer opera. For Robert and Bertram - one will be redeemed, while the other will be sent to hell. That's "Robert le Diable."
I remember the part where a character pulls something off the plant after the seduction-game dance, and ends up publicly shamed, condemned and in big trouble for doing it.
What a god-awful production---a travesty. We have all the original choreography for the ballet---why this? When will this great opera be done correctly??
Meyerbeer is finally getting some of the recognition he rightfully deserves!

Yaaay! Recently converted to Meyerbeerism 🙃
