Annotation

Splitting on parts (Scenes) according to the score available on IMSLP. As an exception, keeping separation between purely instrumental parts ("Vorspiel", "Orchesterzwischenspiel") and scenes proper: although such splitting is not explicitly indicated in the score, it is unambiguous and commonly used.

Please do not add more fine-grained parts according to a splitting on recordings in a particular release. The composer has not provided any fine-grained parts in the score, and editors of different releases split on recordings differently. Please use a "partial recording" relationship instead.

DM's opera site has the libretto in German, English, French and Russian.
