La casa disabitata (The Uninhabited House) is a comic opera in one act composed by Princess Amalie of Saxony to her own Italian-language libretto.

La casa disabitata was the last of the 12 short comic operas which Princess Amalie had composed to her own libretti as entertainments for the Saxon court in Dresden.

The opera's title, plot, setting, and characters are the same as those of Giovanni Giraud's one-act farce La casa disabitata, first performed in 1808 and published in 1825.

[2] Giraud's play was also the basis of the two-act opera La casa disabitata, composed by Lauro Rossi to a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti.

Rossi's opera premiered at La Scala to great success in 1834, a year before Princess Amalie's version, and was subsequently performed throughout Italy and in Paris.

[6] The Saxon State Library holds a copy of Friedrich Baumfelder's 1874 arrangement of one of the opera's arias ("Oh luce del giorno") and one other fragment.

[8] The Dresden-based oboist Petra Andrejewski discovered the score in a Moscow library and reconstructed the opera for a revival at the Dresden Music Festival on 27 May 2012—the first performance of La casa disabitata in 177 years.

In her review of the 2012 revival for Musical America, Rebecca Schmid described the score as a "rehashed Mozartean farce with shades of Cimarosa and Rossini".

[1] Gramophone's critic, James Jolly, thought the music "charming and occasionally surprisingly engaging with its vivid colours and original orchestral effects.

Unable to rent it out because it has the reputation of being haunted, he has instructed his major domo, Callisto, to place a sign in the street offering it to a poor person rent-free.
