| Abstract: | La muette de Portici (The Mute Girl of Portici, or The Dumb Girl of Portici), also called Masaniello in some versions is an opera in five acts with ballets by Daniel Auber, with a libretto by Germain DelaVigne, revised by Eugène Scribe. The opera's first performance was at the Salle Le Peletier of the Paris Opéra on 29 February 1828. The opera is loosely based on the historical uprising of Masaniello against Spanish rule in Naples in 1647. The character of Fenella, the opera's eponymous heroine, was borrowed from Walter Scott's 'Peveril of the Peak', which features a deaf and dumb dwarf of the same name. |
