Re-issue of the edition of ca. 1890.<br/><br/>In four acts to a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jules Adenis after Walter Scott 's novel The Fair Maid of Perth La Jolie Fille de Perth was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre Lyrique on December 16 1867 under the direction of Carvalho and in 1890 under the direction of Verdhurt. <br/><br/>"La jolie fille de Perth was commissioned by Carvalho director of the Théâtre Lyrique in July 1866 the choice of libretto being fixed by the terms of the contract. The commission confirmed Carvalho's faith in Bizet following Les pêcheurs de perles in 1863 and the unfinished Ivan IV in the intervening years. The librettists were experienced men of the theatre especially Saint-Georges yet the libretto is notoriously free in its treatment of Scott's novel and loose in its dramatic structure. Bizet was well aware of its faults and was unenthusiastic about the verse yet he set to work with great energy and completed the score before the end of 1866." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.

His invention and wit are astonishing since he infuses a familiar idiom - vocal coloratura patter declamation swift-moving ensembles and so on - with frequent original touches in harmony orchestration and melodic style. His fluency and professionalism are remarkable. One piece a march was borrowed from the Symphony in C; other sections were later used in Les pêcheurs de perles and La jolie fille de Perth including the famous Serenade from that opera."

In the final duet the music takes on a more serious and passionate tone and Djamileh is characterized from the beginning by a darkly expressive melody. Her main solo the 'Ghazel' blends exotic colour chromatic side-slips suppressed passion and the key of D minor to give a strong foretaste of the Habanera in Carmen."

Les Pecheurs de Perles had its first performance at the Théatre Lyrique Paris on 30 September 1863 shortly before Bizet's twenty-fifth birthday. It was given 18 performances regarded as respectable for a début work although it did not obtain lasting popularity until after Bizet's death. Its great male friendship duet in Act 1 Au fond du temple saint sung by Nadir and his rival in love Zurga is one of the most famous in all opera. Front cover somewhat worn with bumped corners. Some even browning on the interior pages which remain clear throughout. The inscription is strongly written with a large dark signature.
