In 1896, Dubois was appointed director of the Paris Conservatoire and continued Thomas's intransigently conservative regime. The music of Auber, Halévy, and especially Meyerbeer was regarded as the correct model for students. – adapted from Wikipedia

Were filled with a sense of deja

With a style that had thrilled
The girlhood of dear grandmamá.
