Comments:- *This appears to be a recording of the performance in the Royal Opera House on 10 May 1960 (i.e. 10/5/60 European style) which was broadcast (see Radio Times Issue dated May 8-14 1960 p.41). The performance on 29 April 1960 is reviewed in OPERA June 1960 pp.446-447. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». Here the recording is described as being of «Trojans at Carthage». But the indicated length «4 hours» and the presence of Shuard in the cast list strongly suggests that it is of the complete opera. The date is given incorrectly as «Oct.5.1960» (i.e. 10/5/60 Americam style).
