Comments:- 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 year of the performance is given as 1989. However, Norma was not performed in the Teatro Massimo «Bellini» di Catania in that year. From the partial cast listing given by House of Opera it seems that the recording is of a performance on 31 May, or 8 or 10 June 1990. See «Opera '90 Annuario EDT dell'Opera Lirica in Italia» p.47.
