History hasn't been kind to La Muette de Portici. Premiered in Paris in 1828, Auber's opera deals with a 17th-century Neapolitan uprising against Spanish rule, led by the fisherman Masaniello, whose mute sister, Fenella, has been seduced by Alphonse, son of the Spanish viceroy. Morally, the work is complex. Though Masaniello is in the right, his distrust of revolutionary violence is confirmed when he encounters Elvire, Alphonse's blameless wife, who is victimised by both sides in the conflict. Masaniello's fanatical deputy, Pietro, however, advocates indiscriminate carnage, and the power struggle that ensues has catastrophic consequences.
In the decades following the opera's premiere, its influence was huge. A performance in Brussels in August 1830 was the signal for the riots that marked the start of the Belgian revolution that led to the country's eventual independence from Dutch rule. Radicals, both political and musical, enthused about it as Europe braced itself for the revolutions of 1848. Yet as the century wore on, its popularity began to wane, partly due to the variable quality of the score; Auber was a very fine composer, but not a great one, and his melodic inspiration could be uneven. Groundbreaking though his opera was, it was the works that drew upon and elaborated its methodology – above all, Rossini's Guillaume Tell and Verdi's Don Carlos – that would be acknowledged as the great political works of the age.
