The Offenbach Edition Keck is created in collaboration with French musicologist Jean-Christophe Keck and other leading musicologists, biographers and collectors. Drawing on first editions and original manuscripts, these will be the first authoritative editions to reflect the composer's original intentions.
Now available is a piano reduction of the coherent edition of Offenbach's grand romantic opera "Les Fées du Rhin" . The OEK edition is the World Premiere Publication of this opera that was heard in its completeness for the first time at the Montpellier Festival of 2002. The scenic first performance took place in January 2005 at the Slovenian National Theatre. The sources were scattered in various libraries around the world, and some essential materials were actually in private collections.
