Here the date of the performance recorded is given as 16 June 1971, but according to the «Opera Calender Abroad» in OPERA June 1971 p.524 a performance of Manon Lescaut was not programmed for that day. However, there was to have been a performance on 26 June 1971. The performance on 25 February 1971 is reviewed in OPERA May 1971 p.401 and the cast listed above is taken from here.
