Comments:- *Recording of a performance in The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (20 June 1995). This performance does not appear to have been broadcast and so the recording was presumably made �in-house�. The performance on 12 June 1995 is reviewed in OPERA August 1995 pp.988-999.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance in the Teatro de la Zarzuela, Madrid (May 1995). See OPERA ACTUAL No.17 septiembre-noviembre 1995 p.40, OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL No.193 juillet-aoüt 1995 p.61. Miguel Angel Zapater was in the cast announced in OPERA ACTUAL No.15 marzo-mayo 1995 p.70 but I have not been able to confirm that he did sing in the performance on the CDs issued by House of Opera. These are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 �03/12/22� where the date of the performance recorded is given as 31 May 1995. However, in the announcement in OPERA ACTUAL the dates of the performances are given as �23, 26 y 29 de Mayo, 1 y 4 de Junio� and according to OPERA (December 1995 p.1458) Plácido Domingo only sang on 26 and 29 May. Walter Fraccaro sang in some performances, presumably Raffaelle, as according to an article in El Mundo dated 23 May 1995, Plácido Domingo was replaced by Antonio Ordoñez as Stiffelio when he withdrew. I am very grateful to Mr. Stuart Williams for drawing my attention to this article.
