Although La Muette de Portici had already celebrated its fifth-hundredth performance in 1880, today it has been almost entirely forgotten and is infrequently produced. The work premiered in the original French at the Anhalt Theater in Dessau, April 2010, under the general music director Anthony Hermus and is now available on cpo.
