Zanetta, an opera-comique in three acts with libretto by Eugene Scribe and Jules Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, was first performed at the Opera-Comique (Deuxieme salle Favart) on 18 May 1840. It is set in Naples in the early 1740s, and is the second of Auber's three Sicilian operas, along with ;Acteon and Zerline. The original subtitle OU [il ne faut pas] jouer avec le feu was suppressed after several performances. As act 1 opens King Charles VI is thinking that his favourite, the German nobleman Rodolphe, is too attentive to his sister Nisida. Nisida, in order to allay her brother's suspicions, conceives a plan in which Rodolphe will openly court Zanetta, the daughter of the royal gardener. The unsophisticated girl readily responds to Rodolphe's advances. In act 2 Nisida becomes jealous of Zanetta and tries to hurt her by showing her one of Rodolphe's love letters. The simple girl cannot read German, and thinks it is his fulfilment of a promise to bring her father to the King's attention. Zanetta shows it to Baron Mathanasius, a councillor to the Elector of Bavaria, who immediately recognizes it as confirmation of a tryst scheduled for that evening. He orders an ambush to be laid for Rodolphe, when he comes to see Nisida. On his way to her, Rodolphe encounters the affectionate Zanetta and cruelly rebuffs her when she delays him. In act 3 Rodolphe evades the guards by arriving for his rendez-vous with Nisida by an unexpected route. She learns that Rodolphe has duped her, and the entrance of Zanetta, with her demonstrations of love, convinces him that he has acted wrongly. The King and Mathanasius then confess that they had planned for Nisida to marry the Elector of Bavaria; this pleases her far more than a match with Rodolphe. The libretto is confusing; instead of concentrating interest in two characters, the authors multiplied the number of intrigues. The music of this pleasant work is notable for the amount of vocal display (created for Mme Cinti-Damoreau) and the recurrent use of the waltz rhythm which dominates the finales of the first and third acts cf Fiorella; and "Haydee as earlier and later works respectively with a similar emphasis;;La Sirene, ;Zerline and Reve d'amouralso have good examples of choral waltzes). The overture is very attractive, with its mysterious opening of descending triplets, and dancing common-time theme punctuated by overlapping downward spiralling woodwind figures. Auber, like so many 19th-century composers, had a particular love of the waltz, with Zanetta singled out as the work in which this rhythm predominates. Act 1 contains a lovely sicilienne for Nisida (Plus doucement l'onde fuit, and a trio for Rodolphe, the King and Nisida Oui, si vous daignez m'approuver. The song about the gardner demonstrates how Auber's melody often oscillates around the tonic of the tonality Voici la jardinere; act 1), and also provides an extreme instance of the chromatic seasoning Auber employed in many of his conjunct melodies. Mmes Damoreau and Rossi were applauded for the duet in act 2 Contre l'hymen qu'ordonne which is followed by the 6/8 ballade ;Sur les rivages de Catane;. The galop 'on me trompe, l'on m'abuse shows Offenbach's debt to Auber in the development of the can-can. Act 3 has a cavatina for the Princess ;Pendant toute la nuit and the remarkable moment of reflection for Zanetta &Adieu mes fleurs cheries;. All three duets are very expressive.
