Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Royal Opera House (25 October 1960; see «A Prima Donna's Progress» p.93). This performance was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme. See Radio Times Issue dated October 22-28 1960 p.37. The performance on 21 October is reviewed in OPERA December 1960 pp.848-849. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». Omega has also issued what appears to be another recording of this performance (1177), but attributed it incorrectly to Edinburgh on 25 September 1960.
