Le mage is an opera in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Jean Richepin. First performed at the Paris Opera in 1891, it has rarely been performed since its premiere run of 31 performances, and is one of Massenet's least-known operas. A rare complete concert performance took place at the Massenet Festival in Saint-Étienne in 2012. This poster by Alfredo Edel was produced for the opera's premiere on 16 March 1891.

Capitalization?

Why is "mage" not capitalized? French usage and even the poster in the article capitalize the first noun of a title. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

We had a similar discussion for L'Ange de Nisida, and it was capitalised and moved. We probably have dozens more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Le mage → ? – The M is supposed to be capitalized, not a lowercase. Pink Saffron (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
