Meyerbeer composed Il Crociato in just over one year, between September 1822 and the following autumn, at the end of the German composer’s so-called ”Italian period”. Although this is an opera of great dramatic and musical complexity its première was highly successful with both audience and critics, one commentator accurately describing it as ”a building of highlyapplauded construction”. The plot, so rich in events, skilfully weaves historical-religious elements with private happenings and feelings. Against the background of the interreligious conflict between Christians and Muslims, the story of the main characters unfolds in an efficacious alternation of grand choral scenes and solo numbers with arias and cabalettas.
