Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Boston Opera (April 1966; ). See «My First Forty Years» by Plácido Domingo p.46. According to the Performance List in this book Plácido Domingo has only sung in this opera in these two performances in Boston (6, 10 April 1966), and so the statement in the review in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (probably taken from the HRE LPs) that the recording is of a performance at the New York City Opera is incorrect
