There is a review in the Journal de Geneve for 2-3 November 1968. The date given by Omega is 10 November 1968, but there was not a performance on that day. See also OPERA January 1969 pp.66-68.

Si la chose une fois faite (total time just under 20 minutes). I thank Stanley Henig for providing me with information which enabled me to correct errors in an earlier version of this entry.
