Comments:- Recording of a performance in Fort Worth (30 November 1962). �An important production for me was a �Lucia di Lammermoor� in Fort Worth, Texas in which I sang Edgardo for the first time, opposite Lily Pons, who, at the age of fifty-eight, was singing her very last Lucia - a role that she had sung opposite Beniamino Gigli. She was a sweet, adorable person to work with, and I am glad that a pirate recording of that performance exists.� Plácido Domingo in �My First Forty Years� p.25.

Comments:- The recording on the CDRs issued by Premiere appears to be of a performance given by the New York City Opera in Philadelphia on 14 December 1965 (see http://frankhamilton.org/ph). There was a new production at the City Opera (borrowed from Cincinnati Summer Opera) on 14 October 1965 with repeats on 30 October and 6 November, but Plácido Domingo did not appear in any of these performances. In fact, he only sang Hoffmann once at the City Opera, on 9 November 1966, but neither Sills, nor Treigle sang on that occasion (�The New York City Opera� by Martin L. Sokol pp.344-353)

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Boston Opera (April 1966; ). See �My First Forty Years� by Plácido Domingo p.46. According to the Performance List in this book Plácido Domingo has only sung in this opera in these two performances in Boston (6, 10 April 1966), and so the statement in the review in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (probably taken from the HRE LPs) that the recording is of a performance at the New York City Opera is incorrect
