L'arbre enchanté, ou Le tuteur dupé (The Magic Tree, or, the Tutor Duped), Wq 42, is a one-act opéra comique by Christoph Willibald Gluck to a libretto based on the 1752 opéra-comique Le poirier ("The Peartree") with a text by Jean-Joseph Vadé.
[1] Vadé's libretto was based on a tale from Boccaccio's Decameron, as retold by Jean de La Fontaine.
[3] Gluck revised the work to a versified adaptation by Pierre-Louis Moline of the original libretto, to which was also added (for Lubin) the ariette "Près de l'objet qui m'inflamme", parodied from Gluck's earlier opera Le cadi dupé.
The revised version was first performed on 27 February 1775 as L'arbre enchanté, at the Palace of Versailles.
The diarist Karl von Zinzendorf related that Gluck sang the part of an ailing singer from the wings in 1761.
