The composer's only grand opera, which took years to write, was closest to his heart. Not quite finished when he died in 1880, it was orchestrated and provided with recitatives by Ernest Guiraud, who also added the famous barcarolle from an earlier opera-ballet by Offenbach. This volume, an unabridged reprint of the rare, comprehensive fifth edition, contains the full vocal score and all recitatives.
SOME OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ABOUT THIS BOOK [ SAMPLE ]
1) Tales of Hoffmann Vocal Score - An unusual score in which the Antonia act comes before the Giulietta act, but overall very clear print. Note that the text is only in French, and I noted a few text errors here and there. I'd recommend it over the Schirmer score, which is harder to read as the fonts are smaller.
