Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the Teatro Reale dell'Opera di Roma (28 April 1941). As this recording comes from a broadcast by a German radio station it seems probable that it is of a performance given by the Rome Company when they visited Berlin. According to a letter in CLassic Record Collector (Spring 2003 p.5) the role of Pistol was sung by Giulio Neri.

According to Stefan Zucker («Opera Fanatic's Catalog» No.40 p.87) «the film was recorded on September 15, 1946». This presumably refers to the soundtrack, and the film was made (or completed) in 1947), which is the year usually given.

The performance is in Italian and a finale from Belisario was inserted which is said to have been sanctioned in letters by Donizetti. The reviewer in ÓPERA ACTUAL mistakenly attributes the role of Zaida to Giulietta Simionato. The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are listed in their online catalogue as new issues April 2007.
