Jean-Philippe Rameau: Opera Omnia (OOR) IV/16
Text by Sylvain Ballot de Sauvot
Scoring: 3S-solo,T-solo / GemCh-SATB / 2(auch pte fl),2,2,0,2 – 2,2,0,2 – Cordes, B.c. – Ballett
Composed for the Academie Royale de Musique, “Pigmalion” is the first one-act ballet to be introduced by an overture. Here Rameau turned to the form of the “petit opera”. From the moment of its initial revival “Pigmalion”was extremely successful, and it remained so until 1781.
Nathalie Berton-Blivet’s new edition is based primarily on the performance material used at the Opera between 1748 and 1781 and for the revival at Fontainebleau in October 1754.
This later version, the last one validated by Rameau, is the one reconstituted in this precious OOR volume, including a detailed introduction in French and English, a critical libretto edition, the new score with its critical report and some interesting facsimile pages.
