@EncycloPetey: Is there no Act IV Scene III? Seems to jump from II to IV. Londonjackbooks (talk) 19:26, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

There isn't one in this libretto copy. I do not know whether this is an error in the printing, or whether that scene was cut, either by Verdi or by the company performing this particular opera. Without doing some research, I would not be able to determine what happened with any degree of certainty. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Addendum: The Wikipedia article divides Act IV into two scenes only. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
@EncycloPetey: Ah, ok. I was trying to pinpoint the scene where Radames discovers Aida in the Crypt (supposed to take place in Act IV Scene II... but takes place instead in Scene IV in this text). A tweet of the transcribed text has been posted at WS_en. Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:12, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
