What is The diaries of Giacomo Meyerbeer Vol. 3. The years of celebrity, 1850 - 1856 about?

Volume 4 of the Diaries of Giacomo Meyerbeer is devoted to the last years (1857-64). While advancing age and declining health saw a waning of the composer's personal optimism, this was hardly the case artistically speaking. His love for opera comique found further expression in the composition and successful staging of Dinorah (1859), one of his most exquisite works, while his remaining energy was lavished on the creation of L'Africaine, his posthumous valediction and artistic swansong. Meyerbeer's characteristic zeal and dedication continued until the few months before his death. This last volume contains a series of glossaries listing his compositions, and the musical and theatrical works he attended throughout his life. A bibliography of the composer, his contemporaries, and the operatic and social milieu of his times, completes the critical apparatus.
