And I can confirm that Rigollet played as Von Alvensleben after marriage-not sure why husband had different names, though I can put out a guess.
Perhaps he was a German living in Poland. Millions of Germans were forced out of modern day Poland after the war, and those who stayed behind often adopted Polish sounding names. So perhaps he was just reassuming his German name?
