In the Dress Rehearsal with costumes. Adelaida Negri was going to try singing the E Flat, just playing the note, to get an idea of how it would sound in the series of performances, and so she did.

Adelaida did not cause any problems and at the performances she sang the role of Aida, just as Verdi wrote it.
