Les Huguenots

Les Huguenots is a French opera by Giacomo Meyerbeer. The libretto was written by Eugène Scribe and Émile Deschamps. It was first performed in Paris in 1836.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Les Huguenots was very popular, but it no longer part of the standard operatic repertoire. However, there are several complete recordings extant, it is sometimes performed in concert form, and there have been occasional revivals by European opera companies, most recently for three performances in November, 1999 in Bilbao.
