Contradiction with Ponchielli article; Aldona?

[edit]

The article on Amilcare Ponchielli said, until I edited it,

The following opera, I Lituani (The Lithuanians) of 1874, was also well received, being performed later at Saint Petersburg (as Aldona on 20 November 1884).

The article on I Lituani said, with sources, until I edited it

After a three-night run in 1903 at La Scala, where the casting was particularly poorly reviewed, I Lituani was not performed again until 1979 when RAI recovered the score."

While performances as Aldona make sense to me, the assertion was entirely unreferenced, and contradicts the Ponchielli article, so I have deleted it (but left it as hidden comment).

Perhaps someone who actually knows the subject can edit both articles to say whether the opera was well or poorly received, include performances as Aldona if that happened, and to explain the renaming. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 11:26, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
