Robert the Devil, or The Nun, the Dun, and the Son of a Gun is an operatic parody by W. S. Gilbert of Giacomo Meyerbeer's romantic opera Robert le diable, which was named after, but bears little resemblance to, the medieval French legend of the same name. Gilbert set new lyrics to Meyerbeer's melodies and also included tunes by Hérold, Bellini, Hervé, and Offenbach, arranged by Mr. Kettenus, the theatre's music director.
