Comments:- A recording of a performance in New Orleans. The overture is played between Acts 1 and 2; the first scene (at Hornachuelos) of the latter is omitted. However, Scene 6 of Act 3 with the «Sleale» duet is included and this is followed by «Al suon del tamburro» from Act 2 Scene 1. This recording is sometimes stated as being of a performance given by the MET on tour in New Orleans, but this appears to be incorrect as it is not listed in the MET Annals, although both Milanov and Del Monaco were singing in La forza del destino at the MET about this time. Also, neither William Herbert nor Norman Treigle is listed in the Annals as being on the MET roster in the 1952-53 and 1953-54 seasons. According to «Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere perennius» p.829 Del Monaco sang in La forza del destino in New Orleans on 12 and 14 March 1953 and according to VAI's website (click link below) Acts 1 and 2 of the recording that they issued are of the performance on 14 March and Act 3 is of the performance on 12 March. The CDRs issued on the Encore label are (were?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).

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.

Comments:- It has been claimed that the recording on the Melodram LPs is in fact (i) a recording of a performance in 1960 at the Paris Opera conducted by Louis Fourestier with Denise Scharley as Dalila (ii) a recording in the Teatro di San Carlo in 1970 with Vioric (sic) Cortez as Dalila (See FANFARE March/April 1983 Vol.6 No.4 p.26, IOC Spring 1998 No.7 pp.30-37, Summer 1998 No.8 p.7, Autumn 1998 No.9 p.7). A performance at the Paris Opera conducted by Fourestier is reviewed in OPERA November 1960 p.763 and a performance in Naples in 1970 with Viorica Cortez is reviewed in OPERA May 1971 p.434. The Hardy CDs are advertized in ORPHEUS Juli 1999 S.17 where the date of the performance is given as 5 May 1959. According to the review of the Hardy Classic CDs in L'OPERA Del Monaco and Madeira sing in French and the rest of the cast in Italian. In «Il Teatro di San Carlo - La Cronologia» p.706 Del Monaco and Madeira are listed as singing in three performances, the first of which was on 5 April 1959. JTH states in his review in CLASSIC RECORD COLLECTOR that the performance on the CDs issued by Hardy Classic is «audibly different from Melodram's».

Comments:- Audio and video recordings of performances in the Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo. According to the archive section of the operajaponic website there were 3 performances in Tokyo (28 September, 1, 5 October 1961) and one in Osaka (28 October 1961) and the role of Gerard was shared by Giangiacomo Guelfi and Aldo Protti. According to «Aldo Protti - Un Baritono fatto così» p.143 Protti sang in the performances on October 1 and 28, so presumably Guelfi sang in the other two. Consistent with this the recording on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro (according to their online catalogue) is of a performance on 1 October 1961 and the role of Gerard is sung by Protti. On the other hand, according to Masatoshi Nozaki (Opera Disc Collection 2nd edition p.397) in the performance on the laser disc issued by King Video and the CD issued by Legato Gerard is sung by Guelfi. According to the review of the LPs issued by Melodram in FANFARE the recording on these discs comes from two performances and Guelfi sings in Acts 1-3 and Protti in Act 4. The DVDR issued on the Encore label is (was?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). Here Aldo Protti is listed as a performer. The recordings issued by VAI are of the performance on 1 October 1961.

Comments:- Recording of a performance the Teatro La Fenice di Venezia (15 December 1966). The cast and conductor listed above are those given in «Il Teatro La Fenice - Cronologia degli Spettacoli 1938-1991» pp.215-216. In January 1967 the company of La Fenice gave two performnces in Die Komische Oper, Berlin. A recording of one of these is listed separately. Some sources list the performance in December 1966 as taking place in Berlin and that in January as taking place in Venice, but this is not what is given in the Performance Chronology of La Fenice (loc.cit.). Also, according to this source all the performances were conducted by Ettore Gracis. I have not been able to check that the two recordings are in fact of different performances as claimed.

Comments:- Video recording of a performance in Berlin. According to «Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere perenniuus» by Elisabetta Romagnolo p.857 Elinor Ross and Mario Del Monaco sang Norma in the Komische Oper, East Berlin (DDR) on 7, 10, 13 January 1967. According this source the cast included Fiorenza Cossotto, but according to Elinor Ross Adalgisa was Giovanna Vighi (see OPERA NEWS July 2008 p.13). The DVD issued by Premiere is listed in «New Releases on DVD, February 2008». An audio recording has also been issued with Ross, Del Monaco and Cossotto which is attributed to the Komische Oper, Berlin in January 1967. This is, presumably, of a different performance and is listed separately.

A recording of a performance with the same cast at La Fenice in December 1966 is listed separately.

Comments:- Recording of part of a performance at the Théâtre de La Monnaie (See OPERA February 1973 p.158; «Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere Perennius» p.864). The excerpts on the Legato CDs are a «filler» on the CDs of the recording of Stiffelio. The CDR issued by House of Opera is included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22». Here the performance is attributed (incorrectly?) to Antwerp. The CDRs issued by Premiere are included in «New Releases - October 2006».
