Publication noted in the Bibliographie de la France 1e série, 36e année (50e de la collection), Nº 28, 10 Juillet 1847, p.340, r.101. (what form of score- full or vocal- is not specified. (That their plate numbers differ by two - 2459, 2461- is sort-of-evidence but not in fact proof that their publication dates were approximately the same.) Anyhow, one or the other - or both- was published in 1847, and the 2nd and 3rd editions of the libretto are listed in BdlF for the same year as well.)

Begins in B major and at the end closes in that key as well.
