March 5. 1868 the first performance of Arrigo Boito’s Opera “Mefistofele” was presented at the Scala di Milano. Here we see the very rare original castlist from the first performance of this Opera at The Metropolitan Opera 1883 six weeks after the opening from the MET.

Of course, you don't have to listen to me--you can just watch it for yourself!
Note: this version is inexplicably missing the garden scene; I have no idea why since it was obviously in the broadcast. Unfortunately all uploads of this broadcast seem to have been done by the same person so none of them have it. We do not get an extra hour in the ball pit, or indeed any time in the ball pit. Alas.

Since discovering that our local library has Naxos streaming video, which includes just shy of 600 complete operas, hubby and I have taken to popping on an opera most evenings. If it's good, we watch and enjoy. If it's not, we leave it on for background and I read. It's often an internal debate if I hope to discover a wonderful new opera or hope it's mediocre so I can get back to my book.
We're just skimming through alphabetically by composer, and tonight is Furlanetto singing Mefistofele.
