1. ↑ a b This copy of the Poster on Getty Images includes "Théâtre des Champs-Elysées" at the top, which is enough to identify the date: It was performed (in its Paris première) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées starting on 10 May 1913, and the theatre went into near-bankruptcy six months later, with later productions in other opera houses. While it's possible the poster was reused from the opera's première in Monte Carlo, that première was on 4 March 1913. As such, it can't have been used before 1913, as the opera didn't exist, and it can't have been made after 1913 as the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées had to sell off all the sets and close down their production by the end of that year.
