The opera
“Naïs†was
premiered on 22 April
1749 at the Acadmie
royale in the
Palais-Royal, Paris, in
celebration of the
signing of the so-called
Treaty of Aachen. It was
revived again in August
1764 shortly before
Rameau’s death and
achieved great success as
the “opera of
peace,†even though
it did not appear in
print during the
composer’s
lifetime.
In
numerous arias Rameau
provides his singers
ample opportunity to
shine, while he reveals
his orchestral mastery,
in particular in the
chaconne and the various
other ballets.
The
work appears here for the
first time in a vocal
score with a keyboard
reduction. The reduction
is by François
Saint-Yves on the basis
of the new critical
edition by Pascal
Dencheau which is part of
Opera Omnia Rameau edited
by Sylvie
Bouissou.
This
edition is the result of
a meticulous comparison
of all known musical
sources. In the main
section, it presents the
version that Rameau
approved for the
performances of 1749. The
appendix contains those
passages that the
composer cut during the
rehearsals in 1749 and
all changes that he
undertook for the 1764
revival.
