As so often, the quality of the suggestion surpasses that of the actual answer. Coltrane <sigh>

Hmm. "Berlioz never saw the first two acts, later given the name La prise de Troie ['The Capture of Troy'], performed. The first five-act performance of the "complete" Les Troyens, spread over two nights, only took place at Karlsruhe in 1890, 21 years after Berlioz's death."
