Opera Rara's award-winning recording of Fantasio is back! Considered one of Offenbach's most beautiful and refined works, Fantasio offers a heady cocktail of charm, gentle melancholy, bad-tempered jokes and poetry, and marks the crucial step in Offenbach's path towards The Tales of Hoffmann. This recording marks the world premiere studio recording of the complete opera using the new critical edition by Jean-Christophe Keck.
Opera Rara, the brainchild of Patric Schmid and Don White, has been in the business of bringing back forgotten operatic repertoire of the 19th-century for over 40 years. Operas once threatened with extinction have now been brought vividly back to life through the Opera Rara recordings.
