Per local papers, "Il Trovatore" ran at the French Opera House from 22 October 1890 through 28 January 1891, with apparently a single encore performance on Sunday 1 March 1891. (These are the local performances within the possible dates of the photo; Il Trovatore or "Le Trouvère" (French language version) had played repeatedly at the French Opera House decades earlier, including being a regular favorite in the 1856-60 seasons.)
Date c. 22 October 1890 - 1 March 1891 (see description for details)
