Premiered October 9 1882 according to the vocal score of 1912. Antonin-Dvorak.cz gives no publication for the first edition (rather than 1886); however Monatsbericht (1892), p.262 suggests that this is mistaken, so "1892 or earlier" should go there (and 1886 could indeed be right...) The full score w/orchestral parts for both versions are not yet published. The "First Publication" dates are for the vocal scores only (see World Catalogue).
