Other versions
  • Note: Some of this information is taken from Teatro La Fenice's programma di sala (programme book) for their 2004 production of the opera. The illustration appears on p. 87 (see this PDF file, p. 253) with a caption stating that Bonamore's engraving was published in Teatro Illustrato April 1886, on the occasion of the Italian premiere at La Scala in 1886 and was based on Giovanni Zuccarelli's orignal set design for the La Scala production.
