Completed by Meyerbeer four months prior to his death he called the opera Vasco de Gama, but it came to be known to posterity as L'Africaine (The African Woman). Now how did this happen? Meyerbeer had been working on the opera since 1837, and L'Africaine was its original title. Eugène Scribe's libretto told the story of an African princess who is unhappily in love with a Portuguese naval officer. After some initial enthusiasm Meyerbeer soon had his doubts about the subject. Years of revision and rejection followed. It was not until 1849, following Le Prophet, did he resumed his work on it. The Portuguese seafarer now became the historical explorer Vasco da Gama. Since he had discovered the sea route to India, the setting had to be transferred from Africa to India. As a result, Meyerbeer changed the opera's title to Vasco de Gama. This edition by Jügen Schläder is based on the last published and unpublished material left by Meyerbeer on his death. This is the first time this version has been release on CD.
