Chelsea Opera Group concert performance in London, 15 March 1992, sung in French, given in Rossini bicentenary year. Source: the Chelsea Opera Group own performance archive, https://www.chelseaoperagroup.org.uk/past-performances, whose 1992 entry gives conductor Howard Williams, leader Diana Cummings, chorus master Jonathan Butcher and the full cast by role (Ismene Louise Crane, Mahomet Neil Howlett, Pamira Eileen Hulse, Neocles Justin Lavender, Hieros Lawrence Richard, Cleomene/Adraste Geoffrey Shovelton, Omar Jeremy White) - note Shovelton doubles Cleomene and Adraste, entered here as two portrayals. The day comes from COG own downloadable master participants list linked from that page ("COG Master Participants list updated 22.06.26 by JD.xls"), where all ten rows for "Siege de Corinthe,Le" carry Excel date serial 33678 = Sunday 15 March 1992; that file notes dates are the first performance where an opera was given more than once. COG own written history (COG_history-part2_1965-2000) describes mounting it "in Rossini bi-centenary year in the original French version" from a vocal score obtained from a Paris antiquarian dealer, and singles out Lavender, Howlett and Hulse. Both are after-the-fact records of the society own performances. Not in operadis, which lists ten Siege de Corinthe recordings and none under Williams - operadis excludes private recordings by policy. VENUE DELIBERATELY NOT RECORDED: the cast sheet accompanying the rip says the Queen Elizabeth Hall and that the tape came from cassettes made by COG using the QEH in-house microphones, but no COG source names a hall for this performance (their listings carry no venue field at all), so the QEH claim rests on the rip own paperwork only.
