Comments:- *Recording of a performance in the Teatro di San Carlo di Napoli. The date given in Premiere's Catalogue, 27 January 2001, cannot be correct as Turandot was not performed in the Teatro di San Carlo during 2001. It seems from the partial cast listing given that the recording is of a performance in January 2002 (see «Opera 2002 - Annuario EDT/CIDIM dell'Opera Lirica in Italia» p.171). According to this source the only performance in which Audrey Stottler and Dario Volonte both appeared was that on 20 January 2002.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance at Teatro Colón. Caballé quarreled with the conductor and was nearly dismissed, but this was prevented by the intervention of Nilsson (See «Casta Diva» p.112). The conductor is given as Molinari-Pradelli on Mike Richter's website (http://www.mrichter.com), but this appears to be incorrect as according to the website of Teatro Colón (http://www.operas-colon.com.ar) all the performances of Turandot in 1965 there were conducted by Previtali. There is a review on the internet
