La fausse esclave {"The False Slave") is an opéra comique in one act by Christoph Willibald Gluck. It has a French-language libretto based on Louis Anseaume and Pierre-Augustin Lefèvre de Marcouville’s libretto for La fausse aventurière (The False Adventuress), an opéra comique by Jean Louis Laruette. It was first performed on January 8, 1758, at the Burgtheater in Vienna.
The story is of an intrigue undertaken to secure a father’s assent to his daughter’s marriage. The full score is lost, but a keyboard version is extant.
