Summary of This Book

This new edition has been designed to offer a reliable and coherent text, corresponding to the state truly fixed at the most decisive moment: that of the rehearsals leading up to the first performance. Based on manuscript sources as well as the first printed editions under the authors' supervision, it aims to eliminate late variations or transmission discrepancies, in order to return to a secure version, historically grounded and fully endorsed by the composer and librettist.

The result is a "definitive text" intended to serve both reading and musical work: a solid foundation for understanding the writing logic, following the evolution of the material during preparation, and approaching the work with great philological precision. Thanks to its content in French and German, this volume naturally fits the needs of libraries, music classes, and rehearsal environments where textual clarity and editorial reliability are essential. With its extended format, it also constitutes a relevant resource for performers, teachers, and researchers seeking a critical edition oriented towards practice.
