Today's featured article Dominik Hašek (born 29 January 1965) is a Czech former ice hockey goaltender. He won the Vezina Trophy six times with the National Hockey League (NHL), the most under the award's current system. In 1998, he became the first goaltender to win the Hart Memorial Trophy twice. During the 1998 Winter Olympics, he led the Czech national ice hockey team to its first Olympic gold medal. In 2002, Hašek became the first European-trained starting goaltender to win the Stanley Cup and set a record for shutouts in a postseason year. He was considered an unorthodox goaltender, with a distinct style that led to him being labeled a "flopper". He holds the highest career save percentage of all time, and is the only goaltender to face the most shots per 60 minutes and have the highest save percentage in the same season. Hašek was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and is a member of the Czech Ice Hockey Hall of Fame and the IIHF Hall of Fame. His number was retired by the Buffalo Sabres and HC Pardubice.

Additional lyrics are by Adrian Ross. The story concerns Napoleon and a laundress, Catherine Üpscher, who marries Marshal Lefebvre and becomes a duchess. The opera was first produced in London at the Lyric Theatre in 1903 and ran for 236 performances. Subsequently, it enjoyed a successful New York production at Daly's Theatre and other productions around the world, and it was revived in London and performed regularly by amateur theatre groups, particularly in Britain, until the 1950s. This 1903 poster for the opera's original production was designed by the show's costume designer, Percy Anderson.
