Summary: This article gives a decomposition of the $C^*$ -algebra of a twisted locally compact groupoid with Haar system in presence of a normal subgroupoid over which the twist is abelian. One obtains then an equivariant Gelfand isomorphism onto another twisted groupoid $C^*$ -algebra. This is applied to $C^*$ -algebraic deformation quantization and to multiplier representations of locally compact abelian groups.
