Its first performance took place at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on March 3, 1875.
A naive question, why do you consider the date you indicated important, Daniele?

In reality, I love this opera to madness and I love Carlos Kleiber to madness, and I had an absolute need to share it with someone. I took the first possible opportunity to do so, that's all!
