No Auber, Effects on Opera

If Daniel Auber wasn't born or abides by his father's wishes and stays in the printing business, what are the effects on opera and the Romantic era in general?

Well, it seems that a represantion of his opera sparked the Belgian Revolution. So you may see butterflies affecting that (starting at a different time?) but I don't think it would be enough to change its general outline.
Maybe French opera is even more influenced by Italian models (Rossini?).
 
Since I've never heard of this guy, I don't imagine there'd be that much difference.

I'll admit I know a lot more about symphonic and choral composers than opera, but still....
