La Muette de Portici: Opéra en cinq actes by Auber, Delavigne, and Scribe
"La Muette de Portici: Opéra en cinq actes" by Auber, Delavigne, and Scribe is an opera composed in 1828. Set against the backdrop of seventeenth-century Naples, it tells the story of Fenella, a mute woman betrayed by her aristocratic lover, and her brother Masaniello, who leads a fishermen's uprising against Spanish rule. This groundbreaking work introduced mime as integral to opera and became the first French grand opera. Its themes of revolution
proved so powerful that a performance in Brussels allegedly helped spark the Belgian Revolution of 1830. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
