Theatre of the premiere

In Yon's list of works on p. 762 (item no. 38) he has the notation "(CM)" for the "Carré-Marigny" theatre, i.e., the Salle Lacaze. (See the notes at the end of the list.) Does he say somewhere else in the text that it was actually at the Salle Choiseul? (You really should start adding page numbers. This is a long book, and it's all in French. I know I love to complain, but it is hard for me to find these things. :-) --Robert.Allen (talk) 23:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are absolutely right - he says higher up the page that the Salle Choiseul had just closed its season... Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 23:58, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Did you happen to notice that in this engraving the name over the stage is shown as Le mari à la porte? Maybe that helps to account for Grove listing it that way. (Grove says this engraving was on the cover of an 1859 piano arrangement of the overture published by Heugel.) --Robert.Allen (talk) 03:23, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting. 'Le' would of course be pedantically accurate for this plot, as 'un' could be any one. On the other hand the artist might have made the change. I would have thought that Offenbach/the librettists would have some idea of what was being published. For the moment I will continue to trust the scores and Yon.
