Read the full account
On 26 December 1772 Lucio Silla premiered in Milan. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's documented role is: He wrote Lucio Silla. Two Milan nights are two contracts, not a cosmetic split of one opera.
Context
Milan's carnival is the season. Sharing the house with that theatre is required. Driver edu-digital-learning-access is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Different year, different contract. Not a movement-split.
Why it matters
A second contracted premiere is an education path. The welfare reading on this path is improving.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Naming Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1772-12-26 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
