One opera by this man ends with an explosion that destroys a palace in which all the majorcharacters were attending a party. That opera by this man also includes the chorale "Ad nos adsalutarem" and a crazy scene in which a bunch of Anapabtists go figure‐skating. This man, whodepicted John of Leyden's takeover of Munster in that opera, was targeted by name in the essayOpera and Drama, two years after another polemic of which he is believed to have been the principaltarget, (*) On Jewishness in Music. This composer of The Prophet and The Crusader in Egypt also showedthe singing of "God wants blood!" and the dramatic tolling of bells in an opera where Raoul andValentine are among the many killed on St. Bartholomew's Day. For 10 points, name this composer ofLes Huguenots.
