Extra Information	At Boito's death the opera's orchestration was left incomplete. It was clearly notated and virtually complete for Acts 1 to 3 whereas in Act 4 it was in some places still at sketch stage. For more information on the alterations made by Toscanini, Tommasini and Smareglia see Il teatro musicale di Arrigo Boito, in Arrigo Boito musicista e letterato* by Paolo Rossini, Nuove Edizioni, 1986.

5 acts planned, per libretto . Vocal score published in 1924, full (partitur) in 1925. One publication of the 1925 libretto has "lyrisk tragedi".
