However, the famous Barcarolle (which Offenbach himself had 'borrowed' from his grand romantic opera 'Die Rheinnixen') was sung in the Antonia Act and Offenbach's original duet for Hoffmann and Giulietta was transformed into a duet for Hoffmann and Stella.
It didn't help that six years later the Opéra Comique was burned to the ground, too, and in that fire much of Offenbach's hand-written material was presumed lost (but what appears to be an original score surfaced again in the summer of 2004).
Scholarly research and the discovery of more of Offenbach's own material than was previously known, first by Fritz Oeser and most recently by Michael Kaye, has re-established the proper order of acts in the sequence Olympia - Antonia - Giulietta.

 French Culture | books: Hadlock, Mad Loves: Women and Music in Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A strange fusion of irony and profundity, frivolity and nightmare, the opera unfolds as a series of dreamlike episodes, peopled by such archetypes as the Poet, the Beautiful Dying Girl, the Automaton, the Courtesan, and the Mesmerist.
Her analyses touch on topics ranging from the self-reflexive style of the protagonist and the music, to parallels between nineteenth-century discourses of theater and medical science, to fascination with the hysterical female subject.
Les Contes d'Hoffmann is also examined as both a continuation and a retraction of tendencies in Offenbach's earlier operettas and opéra-comiques.

 Les Contes de Fées: The Literary Fairy Tales of France
The term fairy tale, now used as a generic label for magical stories for children, comes from the French term conte de fées, coined for a group of 17th-century tales written for adults.
He was one of the leading initiators of the "Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns" in the 1680s, and in the 1690s he composed several poems and tales using folklore themes.
He produced three magical tales in verse, then a prose version of The Sleeping Beauty, and finally (in 1697) his famous collection Contes du temps passé, published under the name of his son: Pierre Perrault Darmancour.

 Charles Perrault's Mother Goose Tales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Perrault could have not predicted that his reputation for future generations would rest almost entirely on a slender book published in 1697 containing eight simple stories with the unassuming title: Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals, with the added title in the frontispiece, Tales of Mother Goose.
The original title, in French, was Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités: Contes de ma mère l'Oye.
Charles Perrault, in a symbolically significant gesture, did not publish the book in question under his own name but rather under the name of his son Pierre.
