With his HUGENOTTEN Giacomo Meyerbeer brought one of the greatest massacres in European history to the opera stage in 1836: the attempt of the French Catholics to murder all the Protestants in the country in 1572 is still one of the most terrible examples of the effects of religious fanaticism , The fact that THE HUGENOTTEN became Meyerbeer's most famous opera is not only because of the spectacular theme, but also because of the relentlessness with which he tells this story: about the fragile peace between the denominations about futile attempts at conciliation and the organization of the crime in the famous "sword consecration". until the indiscriminate slaughter of the Huguenots, the opera exemplifies the development of a catastrophe. ...

With his HUGENOTTEN Giacomo Meyerbeer brought one of the greatest massacres in European history to the opera stage in 1836: the attempt of the French Catholics to murder all the Protestants in the country in 1572 is still one of the most terrible examples of the effects of religious fanaticism , The fact that THE HUGENOTTEN became Meyerbeer's most famous opera is not only because of the spectacular theme, but also because of the relentlessness with which he tells this story: about the fragile peace between the denominations about futile attempts at conciliation and the organization of the crime in the famous "sword consecration". until the indiscriminate slaughter of the Huguenots, the opera exemplifies the development of a catastrophe.

Combining the fate of the two lovers Raoul and Valentine with the historic major event of Bartholomew's Night, the HUGENOTTEN also became a model case of the new genre Grand Opéra and one of the most influential works in opera history.

At the Deutsche Oper Berlin THE HUGENOTTEN are a central part of the Meyerbeer cycle, presenting the most important works of the greatest composer in Berlin in new scenic productions. For the direction of the American David Alden one of the most prominent opera directors of our time could be won, of which at the Deutsche Oper Berlin most recently the productions of Britten's PETER GRIMES and BILLY BUDD could be seen.
