It would be hard to find an opera in any area of the repertory that presents so many textual problems as Les conies d'Holfmann, largely stemming from the fact that the composer died four months before the premiere early in 1881, leaving the score incomplete. The traditional text, bringing in extra material, much of it unauthentic, and leaving out a lot, was only established this century. Arthur Hammond with the Carl Rosa Company was a pioneer in attempting to sort out a more acceptable text, and his work formed the basis of the English National Opera production at the Coliseum and also the Richard Bonynge recording for Decca. Since then the discovery of no less than 1,250 autograph pages allowed Fritz Oeser to produce his monumental edition, as used extensively in the Cambreling recording for EMI (12/88 —nla). That extended the piece to Wagnerian lengths, but since then still more material has been uncovered, involving some 350 more manuscript pages, which have been researched by Michael Kaye to form the basis for his new edition published by Schott in 1991. Though the edition was not complete at the time the Dresden recording sessions were held (June 1987-June 1989), this new Philips set is based on his material, aiming in Jeffrey Tate's words to come "as close as we can to envisage the score and the drama that Offenbach conceived before his untimely death".
One big difference here from the complete Oeser edition, as presented by Cambreling, is that dialogue replaces all the recitatives written by Ernest Guiraud. The Bonynge text similarly replaces recitative with spoken dialogue, but this new set uses far more. As with Oeser the Prologue is more extended, showing the transformation of the Muse into Nicklausse, with extra material in the Olympia and Antonia acts too, much as the striking trio for Hoffmann, Nicklausse and Coppelius. Also, Tate points out that "the Giulietta act contains music that shows conclusively that Offenbach would have wanted a single voice to embody all of Hoffmann's female infatuations". A fascinating illustration of that comes in the jaunty couplets, "L'amour lui dit: la belle", leading into exchanges and a duet reprise with Hoffmann. It is a jolly little piece, close in style to earlier Offenbach, which in its lightness and use of high coloratura radically alters one's conception of the character of the Venetian femme fatale. Needless to say, Cheryl Studer, has no problems here over high coloratura, but in context it does tend to take you by surprise.
