Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Londom Coliseum. Oriel gives the date as 13 October 1977 on which date a performance was broadcast by BBC Radio 3, but Chandos gives the date as 13 December 1977. The latter appears to be incorrect as on this date Dalibor was performed by the ENO. The performance on 6 October 1977 is reviewed in OPERA December 1977 pp.1189-1190. It is stated incorrectly in the review in OPERA NOW that �Werther is taken by Patrick Wheatley�
