1894: In the final scene, after the famous final duet "Te souvient-il du lumineuse voyage" there is extra music and text. Voices from heaven curse Athanaël, Mere Albine and the nuns cry out "Un vampire" and run away (as in the final chapter of the Anatole France novel) and the opera concludes with voices of angels calling "Pitié" and a soft reminiscence of the famous Méditation. In 1898, this is all cut and reduced to Athanaël's single cry of "Pitié" and a brief three bar coda.
