Gina,
`I used Ricordi(4 acts) for the excerpts I did, it worked very well. As far
as I know the 5 acts is the original French creation, later Verdi prepared
the 4 acts in Italian, so there must be some changes at least to
accommodate the language. However, composers love to revise their work and
chang around a few phrases... sorry not having more accurate information on
this one!
