Chronology Notes
- After the first performance the author cut the entire fourth act.
- This production was part of the South-American tour of the company «La Teatral», with the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo performances. According to the memories of Hipolito Lazaro from the same tour, the opera was performed also in Rosario, Cordoba, Tucumán and Montevideo (see H. Lazaro, El libro de mi vida, Ed. Nacional, tercera edicion, Madrid 1968, pp. 300 - 303). This data must however be verified and is not included in this chronology for this reason.
