This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. HMB 1865 p.3 has the same listing for the overture to op.134 except +"partitur" - probably the same, though. (Both are in the Orchestra section.)

B&H pub. overture in 1863, not 1865
(is tag accurate? the piece itself is incidental music, not a symphonic poem, to which No.1 is the overture for orchestra only. without more of the piece, hard to tag- don't know full lineup of singers if any, or language used - Schissel)
Meyerbeer mentions the incidental music (which this is) in a diary entry (28 November 1861) ("the instrumental pieces contain lovely things, the vocal ones are less interesting"). no word anywhere on whether a chorus is involved in any of them?. BSB seems to have this in publication and manuscript, with choral and instrumental breakdown listed in their catalog-
"vl solo, vl 1 (5x), vl 2 (5x), vla (3x), vlc (3x), cb (3x), fl.picc, fl 1 and 2, ob 1 and 2, cl 1 and 2, fag 1 and 2, cor 1, 2, 3, 4, tr 1, 2, trb 1, 2, 3, ophicleide, timp, gran cassa, piatti, tamb; sul palco: directorium, vla 1 and vl 2, vla 2, vlc, cb, fl. picc, fl, ob 1, 2, cl 1, 2, fag 1, 2, cor 2, triangolo" for instruments, and " S 1 (8x), S 2 (7x), T 1 (3x), T 1 and 2, T 2 (4x), B 1 (3x), B 2 (4x)" for chorus.
Date 1855 from a 1893 dictionary entry.
