Comments:- Recording of excerpts of Acts 1,2,3 from a performance at the Teatro alla Scala. The partial cast listed by Handelman in his calalog dated November 2000 is Frazzoni, Corelli, and Bastianini and the date is given as 20 January 1960. However, according to the archive that used to be on the La Scala website (http://www.lascala.com) Tebaldi, not Frazzoni sang on this date. Frazzoni sang in the performances on 24, 28, and 31 January, but in these performanes Gérard was sung by Ugo Savarese, not Ettore Bastianini. The cast listed above is that for 24, 31 January. On the 28 January Roucher was sung by Silvio Maionica and Fouquier Tinville by Vittorio Tatozzi.

Comments:- This recording is stated in the Standing Room Only, Lyric and HOO catalogues to be of a performance in Philadelphia on 2 December 1969. However, although Tebaldi and Corelli are listed in �Tebaldi - The Voice of an Angel� p.252, �Corelli - A Man, A Voice� p.266 and Frank Hamilton's website �Franco Corelli - Discography of Opera Performances� as performing La bohème in Philadelphia on this date the rest of the cast given in all 3 publications is quite different. Premiere has issued CDRs which are claimed to be of the performance on 2 December 1969 and the partial cast given corresponds to the cast listed by Frank Hamilton. This recording is listed separately. I have been unable to find any performance of of La bohème with the partial cast given by Lyric, SRO, and HOO (and above). The Compact Cassettes issued by Lyric are included in their �New Listings - November/December 1990� and the CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to HOO's website in December 2003 (12-22-2003)
