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».

Comments:- The CDRs issued by Premiere are listed in «Premiere Compact Disc Releases Winter 2004». The recording appears to be of a performance in the Nationaltheater, Munich. Un ballo en maschera was performed there on the date given by Premiere, 31 January 1994, but Dennis O'Neil whom they list was ill and was replaced by Kristjan Johannsson. See OPERA May 1994 pp.593-595; ORPHEUS April 1994 S.45-S.46. There is also a review in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL octobre 1994 No.184 p.47 of a performance on 15 July 1994 in which Denis O'Neill did sing.

Comments:- Audio and video recordings of a performance (or of performances) at the Opéra Bastille (September 1995).

It states in these that Julia Varady was indisposed, but it is not clear if this was in just the performance reviewed or in all the performances.
