Comments:- The recording on the CDRs issued by Premiere appears to be of a performance given by the New York City Opera in Philadelphia on 14 December 1965 (click link below). There was a new production at the City Opera (borrowed from Cincinnati Summer Opera) on 14 October 1965 with repeats on 30 October and 6 November, but Plácido Domingo did not appear in any of these performances. In fact, he only sang Hoffmann once at the City Opera, on 9 November 1966, but neither Sills, nor Treigle sang on that occasion («The New York City Opera» by Martin L. Sokol pp.344-353). The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are listed on their website under «What's New ? New Year 2008» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).

Recordings of Mefistofele by Arrigo Boito are surveyed in the following publications:-
HARRIS p.181; Opera on Record 3 p.183; CELLETTI p.121; Opera on CD (1) p.97 (2) p.108 (3) p.121; MET p.62; MET(VID) p.22; PENGUIN p.33; Opera on Video p.163; GIUDICI p.89 (2) p.139; American Record Guide September/October 2000 Vol.63 No.5 pp.73-83; L'Avant Scène Opéra No.238 p.74
Comments:- Recording of a performance at the New York City Opera. 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». Here the venue is given as «NYC» and the partial cast-listing suggests that the recording is of a performance at the New York City Opera. However, there was no performance there of Mefistofele on the date given by Omega, «Oct.24 1969». It is possible that this is a misprint for 24 September 1969 on which day there was a performance (see «The New York City Opera - An American Adventure» by Martin L. Sokol pp.379-381).
