Masaniello
by Daniel-Franois-Esprit Auber
This work was written for the Paris Grand Opera, where it was produced in 1828. The theme of the libretto
was intimately related to the political agitations of the time.
Fenella, a dumb girl of Portici, has been seduced by Alfonso, son of the Spanish Viceroy of Naples. She is
subjected to confinement, but escapes, and denounces her betrayer immediately after his marriage to the
Princess Elvira. Her brother, the fisherman Masaniello, incensed by her wrongs, organizes a popular revolt,
overturns the Spanish rule, and is proclaimed King of Naples by his exultant followers. At the instance of
the forgiving Fenella, he spares the lives of Elvira and Alfonso; but the generous action costs him his own
life, and, in despair, Fenella plunges into a stream of boiling lava pouring from Vesuvius.

Le Nozze di Figaro (T he Marriage of Figaro)

by Wolfgang AmadeusMozart
Opera in four acts by Mozart; words by Lorenzo da Ponte, after Beaumarchais. Produced at the National
Theatre, Vienna, May 1, 1786, Mozart conducting.
The story of Le Nozze di Figaro is a sequel to that of The Barber of Seville, which Rossini set to music.
Both are derived from Figaro comedies by Beaumarchais. In Rossinis opera it is Figaro, at the time a barber in Seville, who plays the go-between for Count Almaviva and his beloved Rosina, Dr. Bartolos pretty
ward. Rosina is now the wife of the Count, who unfortunately, is promiscuous in his attentions to women,
including Susanna, the Countlesss vivacious maid, who is affianced to Figaro. The latter and the musicmaster Basilio who, in their time helped to hoodwink Bartolo, are in the service of the Count, Figaro having been rewarded with the position of valet and major-domo. Bartolo, for whom, as formerly, Marcellina
is keeping house, still is Figaros enemy, because of the latters interference with his plans to marry Rosina
and to secure her fortune to himself. The other characters in the opera also belong to the personnel of the
Counts household.

Jessonda
by Louis Spohr
Written in 1822, libretto by Eduard Gehe. In 1822 Spohr was the newly appointed Hofkapellmeister in
Kassel. He had reservations about Webers recently performed Der Freischtz, and sought a subject that
was poetic and uncomplicated, avoiding, in his setting, any spoken dialogue. He was opposed to the use of
speech on mundane subjects in an operatic context. Ballets and spectacle were provided in set pieces that
might also attract ordinary theatre-goers, in a German form of grand opera.
In this opera the heroine, Jessonda, widow of the Rajah, must be burned to death on his funeral pyre.
Before her marriage she had been in love with a Portuguese general. A young Brahmin, Nadori, is sent from
the Hindu temple to bring Jessonda the order for her death, as dictated by their customs. However, he falls
in love with her sister, Amazili.
The Portuguese forces that are camped outside the city are led by Tristan dAcunha, who has sworn that
Indian customs will be preserved. Nadori has vowed to save Jessonda and Tristan now discovers that she is
his long lost love. The Indian breach of the truce allows Tristan to act and Jessonda is rescued in the nick of
time, before Dandau, the chief Brahmin, can carry out the intended sacrifice.

La Fiance
by Daniel-Franois-Esprit Auber
This Opra-Comique was first performed at the brand new and luxurious Salle Ventadour theatre in Paris

Le Prophte
by Giacomo Meyerbeer
Opera in five acts, by Meyerbeer; words by Scribe. Produced, Grand Opra, Paris, April 6, 1849.
The opera is set in the religious wars of 16th century Germany. Jean de Leyde (based on the historical John
of Leiden), whose beloved, Berthe, is coveted by Count Oberthal, ruler of Dordrecht, is persuaded by a trio
of sinister Anabaptists to proclaim himself king in Mnster. He dies, accompanied by his faithful mother
Fides, when the Anabaptists desert him and his palace is blown up.
