What is the correct name of this opera? Secondary sources seem to be confused. The List of operas by Cherubini gave it as 'Elisa' before it was changed. Oxford (i.e. Warrack, John and West, Ewan (1992), The Oxford Dictionary of Opera) and Amadeus give Éliza (accented). The latter gives the full title as 'Éliza ou Le voyage aux glaciers du Mont Saint-Bernard' but unusually lists a series of alternatives ("Éliza", "Élisa ou Le voyage au Mont-Bernard", "Éliza ou Le Mont-Bernard", and "Éliza ou Le Mont Saint-Bernard"). Operone is confused between Eliza and Elisa. (Grove doesn't have an article on this work.)
Can anyone find a primary source for the name used at the first performance? Thanks. -- Klein zach 23:37, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
