Description:
Rameau's only surviving opera based on a libretto by Voltaire has survived in two versions (1745 and 1746), whereby the 1745 version was long considered lost. Volume IV.12 of the "Opera omnia Rameau" is the first complete edition that allows both versions to be performed.
In his libretto, Voltaire refers to Metastasio in that he wanted to liberate the opera from the gallant milieu in order to turn it into a moralizing, edifying and political work of stage art. After a prologue dedicated to personified envy, the tyrant Bélus and the tyrant Bacchus are chased out of the Hall of Fame and finally Trajan is crowned with laurel because he defeated the rebels, forgave them and finally transformed the Hall of Fame into a public temple.
Now the individual instrumental movements from the opera are also available in the usual way as a practical individual edition.
The performance material is available on loan.
