Le Domino Noir clocked up 1,200 performances in Paris alone, after its 1837 premiere. This spiffing new recording is the surest blow yet to be struck for a revival of Auber’s popularity in our time. The music is tuneful, danceable, constantly surprising in its form, and full of interesting orchestration.
