So the chorus in question was sacrificed.

That was bad for _Les Huguenots_.

The author tried to make a good deal out of the last act with its beautiful choruses in the church--a development of the Luther chant--and the terror of the approaching massacre.

But this act has been cut, mutilated and made generally unrecognizable.

They even go so far in some of the foreign houses as to suppress it entirely.
I once saw the last act in all its integrity and with six harps accompanying the famous trio.
