In 1851 Franz Liszt offered to revive the opera in a new production in Weimar, suggesting changes to the score to Berlioz. A new version was in fact prepared and performed in Weimar the next year. In 1856 the vocal score of the Weimar version was published in Germany; Choudens in 1863 issued a French edition of the same. In 1996 a critical edition of the opera by Hugh Macdonald was published by Bärenreiter Verlag as part of the New Berlioz Edition, taking into account all three versions because the composer himself was involved in all three:the original version as Berlioz composed it ("Paris 1") before changes demanded by the censors; this is favored todaythe opera as premiered in 1838 ("Paris 2") after changes imposed by the censors; this has no use todaythe version of the 1850s ("Weimar") reflecting changes suggested by Liszt; this has three acts, is still in use, and is the basis in many reference works about the opera
