Auber has been called the prince of opera comique.- He was in fact a lesser Rossini, from whose works he learned much. In 1811 he made his debut in Paris with his opera Julie, the first of a series of some fifty operas that brought him fame and fortune. In 1842 he was appointed Director of the Paris Conservatoire.

In 1820 Auber was fortunate in securing the partnership of Scribe, who was one of the most skilful and prolific librettists of the period. The partnership lasted until Scribe's death in 1861. Fra Diavolo, a romantic comic opera, is a good specimen of their joint work. It was written in 1830.
