After Samson et Dalila this was his most successful opera widely performed in the composer's lifetime often in a reduced three-act version that simply omitted Act 3; Saint-Saëns refused to make the reductions the Opéra demanded."

First Edition of the first version. Ratner II p. 73.<br /> <br /> Le Timbre d'argent to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré was first performed at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on February 23 1877.<br /> <br /> "Composed in 1864-5 for the Théâtre Lyrique Paris the opera was kept from the stage first by the theatre's bankruptcy then by the Franco-Prussian War and was not played until 1877. In the meantime Saint-Saëns had recomposed the dialogue to form a grand opera version which was not played until 1913. The music is enormously fluent and versatile . There are some bold scenic ideas including a theatre seen from the back of the stage and some fanciful transformations. It seems no coincidence that the opera's 18 performances in 1877 exactly coincided with Offenbach's first concentrated labours on Les contes d'Hoffmann." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.

Ratner II p. 254.<br /> <br /> The première of Les Barbares at the Opéra in Paris on 23 October 1901 was a great success. "Live oxen were brought on stage in an ensemble and gave the management many problems of housing and feeding during performances." Debussy famously criticized the opera as being a vehicle unworthy of the composer's talents. Brian Rees in Camille Saint-Saëns: A Life p. 348. A. Durand [PN D. & F. 5927] unknown
