AB - Meyerbeer’s Opera, Robert le Diable, gained a huge success since the premiere in 1831. Six years later in 1837, Balzac wrote a novel, Gambara, depicting that a genius composer, Gambara, disputably interpreted this opera. Meyerbeer and his music was received extremely well in the 19th century, while it was completely forgotten during the 20th century. Now, we can currently see that there have been interesting attempts to rediscover the values of Meyerbeer and his music. This present research tries to reflect on this current scholarly interest on Meyerbeer, and, furthermore, extend music history to cultural studies, utilizing literature research. Gambara, in this novel, has two opposite viewpoints regarding Meyerbeer and his opera, which implies that public audience of Paris—drunken Gambara—and critics —sober Gambara—stood in different directions in the 19th century. Balzac and his publisher Schlesinger, in doing so, harshly criticized the taste of the Parisian audience, and provided the German romanticism as an alterative and futuristic new musical aesthetics.
