  • Offenbach's authentic final scene of the Giulietta Act was incorporated in the integral edition for the first time in Hamburg. Ingo Metzmacher, who conducted the premiere, agrees that the finale now gives balance to the opera, making the end of the tale of Giulietta as important and the other acts. PS: Giulietta is not a role for mezzo-soprano! See also http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=86D04971546379E5

  • No. 1B - Alternate Version of the First Appearance of the Muse, from the integral edition by Michael Kaye and Jean-Christophe Keck published by Schott Music, Boosey and Hawkes and Bote&Bock. La Muse: La vérité, dit-on, sortait d'un puits; La Muse, Si vous le permettez, sortira d'un tonneau, S'en remettant de soin de trouver son excuse À tous les gens de bien qui ne boivent pas d'eau. La Muse? direz-vous... quelle Muse?... une folle Qui s'est enamourée, au seuil d'un cabaret, D'un ingrat que les yeux d'une beauté frivole Vont asservir encore à leur perfide attrait!... Oui, j'aime cet Hoffmann dont j'ai séché les larmes, Alors que dans la vie, océan inconnu, S'élançant au hasard, sans défense et sans armes, Sans défense, sans défense et sans armes, Il y brisait son âme et son cœur ingénu! Déjà je m'asseyais à son foyer tranquille Quand cette femme encor[e] vient s'offrir à ses yeux Et troubler d'une ardeur décevante stérile d'une ardeur décevante stérile Cette âme où s'éveillait l'amour fécond des cieux!

  • There is also music for Stella to sing in the integral edition by Michael Kaye and Jean-Christophe Keck published by Schott Music, Boosey and Hawkes and Bote&Bock. HOFFMANN [parlé]: Allons! brave public courage!... Jette des fleurs sur son passage! De tes bravos enivre--la! Tu ne sais pas ce que ces créatures laisse sur leur chemin de morts et de débris! Ce qu'elles traînent de mépris! STELLA: Ah! C'est en vain que mes amours te servent de risée Tes nuits verront surgir ma beauté méprisée Adieu à ton cœur pour toujours! LE CHOEUR: Ah! Funeste et méprisée Disparais pour toujours! Du vin, du vin, du vin, du vin, du vin! (Stella prend son manteau des mains d'Andrès et le jette sur ses épaules; puis elle prend le bouquet, s'arrête au bout de quelques pas pour regarder Hoffmann, détache une fleur de son bouquet et la jette à ses pieds. Hoffmann la suit des yeux avec une sorte de stupeur.—Pendant cette scène muette, les étudiants chantent en frappant bruyamment des gobelets sur les tables.)
