Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (April or May 1987). The CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22» where the date of the recording is given as 14 April 1987. However, on this day Rosalind Plowright sang Desdemona (see OPERA June 1987 pp.694-696). Julia Varady sang Desdemona on 24, 28 April and 2, 7 May 1987. The performance on 24 April 1987 is reviewed in OPERA June 1987 pp.699-700. None of these recordings was broadcast so the recording was probably made «in-house».
