The date given in Charles Handelman's (November 2000 p.65) and mr. tape's catalogues is 2 March 1974. The performance on 27 February is reviewed in OPERA May 1974 pp.444-445. According to this review Janet Price sang at very short notice «from the side of the stage while the part was mimed on stage by an actress». It is not known if this procedure was followed at the other performances. The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are (were?) listed as new issues in their website in August 2004 (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).
