The English version by Henry Farnie was renamed Irene and interwove "certain legends and traditions of freemasonry." Wikipedia.<br/><br/>"The work was severely condemned by almost the entire Parisian press. In spite of Gounod's efforts to clarify motivations of the characters through thematic recollections critics were mystified by the racial origin of and ideological imperatives for the Balkis-Adoniram union; the opera was withdrawn after only 15 performances. With some revisions it fared better at the Théâtre de la Monnaie and became part of the repertory there in the 1860s and 70s. Performances in England in 1865 at the Crystal Palace where the title role became Irene and the setting was shifted to Turkey as well as a Parisian revival in 1900 were unsuccessful."
