Comments:- According to the review by DST in OPERA (December 1959 pp.796-797) the opera was performed in a �badly mutilated� version made by Zandonai because that was the only orchestral material that Ricordi could supply. According to the �EJS Discography� p.261 �Sides three and four of this set have been defective on virtually all copies, with heavy pressing bumps�. It was not however the first revival in the twentieth century as DST (loc.cit.) reports that he had seen a performance by the Kentish Opera Group fifteen months earlier. He also reviewed this for OPERA (September 1958 pp.609-610)

When it was performed at Glyndebourne in 1966 Sheila Armstrong sang Belinda and Patricia Johnson sang the Sorceress (Hughes loc. cit. p.342)
