The date of the performance is given here as 19 November 1957, but this must be incorrect as Elektra was performed in the Royal Opera House on that date. It seems more likely that the recording is of a performance in October or November 1955 when the new production opened. The performance on 17 October 1955 is reviewed in OPERA December 1955 p.791-796. The recording issued by The Royal Opera House is of the performance on 19 October 1955. According to Radio Times Issue dated October 16-22 1955 p.19 the performance on 17 October 1955 was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme.

Here only two cast members are listed, Del Monaco and Pobbe,the year is given as 1955 and the location as Pompei. I have only been able to find one occasion in which Del Monaco and Pobbe sang together in Otello in Italy. This was in Naples on 16, 20, 24 February 1957. The cast listed above is that for the performance on 24 February. See �Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere perennius� p.375. The whole assignmment may be incorrect.

Comments:- *Recording(s) of a performance (or of performances) in the Takarazuka Hall, Tokyo. According to Masatoshi Nozaki in �OPERA DISC COLLECTION� (1st edn, p.194; 2nd edn p.250) there are two recordings of performances with the same cast. According to him that on Paragon ANF 54 (CD), KING 63IL 14-5 (laser disc), KING KILM 108/9 (laser disk) and Memories HR 4406/7 (CD) is of a performance given on 4 February while that on Seven Seas K38Y30 (CD) and Frequenz 043-010 (CD) is of a performance given on 7 February. The year is given as 1959 in the 1st edition and 1958 in the 2nd edition. According to the archive of Opera Japonica (http://www.operajaponica.org/archives) Otello was only performed in Japan in 1959 (4,7,10, 13 February in Tokyo and 2 March in Osaka). It appears that the recording on Melodram, Rodolphe, Paragon, and Bel Canto Society is of the performance on 4 February 1959. The date given on the DVD issued by NHK is 4 February 1959. It appears that this is derived from a television transmission (or �simulcast�) in which the video broke down at �Ora e per sempre addio..�, but the sound continued and NHK have patched in a still of Mario del Monaco at this point. See OPERA-L Wed. 24 Aug 2005 00:30:33 EDT. The Melodram LPs are advertized in GRAMOPHONE January 1984 p.872. According to James Calvert (OPERA-L Thu, 24 Oct 2002 08:099:32 -400) the sound on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro is a semitone sharp. The DVDR issued on the Encore label is (was?) listed on the website of �berkshire record outlet inc.� (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). Here the conductor is stated incorrectly to be Oliviero de Fabritiis.
