Extra Information Wikipedia article
Premiere was in May 1903, according to BdlF 1903 p.372. However, no such performance is recorded in the calendars of the Opéra-Comique, whereas the 1904 date is verified by these same records (Wild/Charlton: Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique Paris: répertoire 1762-1972, Paris: 2005).
