A PERFORMANCE of Masaniello in Brussels, on August 25, 1830, has been held partly responsible for the outbreak of the revolution in which the Dutch were driven out of Belgium. Be that as it may, it is generally agreed that this is the finest of all Auber's many (and popular) Operas. Instead of being merely pretty and tuneful, as are so many of his works, Masaniello has dramatic power and spirit. Wagner praised the work highly.
The Overture is chiefly made up of tunes from the Opera itself.
