The story of Masaniello deals with a revolt in Naples in 1647. Masaniello is the leader of the revolution, and his hatred of the oppressors is fanned by the wrongs of his sister, Fenella, at the hands of the Spanish Viceroy. The opera ends in tragedy for the chief characters. Masaniello goes out of his mind and is killed, and Fenella, throws herself into the sea. An eruption of Vesuvius is a striking feature of the plot. Fenella, the heroine, is dumb, and the part was usually played by the chief dancer in the opera ballet, with gestures only. The opera is known abroad as The Dumb Girl of Portici. The Overture, according to tradition, is made up of tunes from the opera itself ,   
This suite, made up of self-contained excerpts from Bizet's opera-the Prelude, three of the entr'actes, and the ' Danse Bohemienne '—is a good example of how best to transplant representative music of an opera from the stage to the concert room and give it legitimate' colour and character: We are not given a medley of the purple passages, the principal songs, and a lengthy paraphrase as in a fantasy, but a series of the composer's own ideas of how his separate acts are to be introduced and prepared in the minds of his audience. Not many operas, of course, lend themselves to this form of concert suite. Carmen, however, an almost perfectly constructed opera, is one of the rare exceptions. In this suite a definite picture is presented, even to those who have never heard the whole opera. It is a complete commentary on Merimee's passionate story retold so superbly in the music of Bizet's masterpiece.
