In-house recording of The Santa Fe Opera performance of 8 August 2003. Cast and date from the cast sheet distributed with the recording, in the rip folder as "Madame Mao - 2003.08.08 (Redmon, Christy, Opie c Fiore, Santa Fe) cast.doc": Santa Fe Opera, dir: John Fiore, August 8, 2003; Robynne Redmon (Jiang Ching, as an older woman), Anna Christy (Jiang Ching, as a younger woman), Alan Opie (Mao Zedong), Kelly Kaduce (ZhiZhen, Yang Paifeng), Mark Duffin (Actor/Manager, Emperor Gao); it describes the run as world premiere performances and the tape as In-house recording. The date is corroborated by the house own 2003 performance calendar, https://web.archive.org/web/20030503025046/http://www.santafeopera.org/2003/perfcalendar.php , which schedules only four Mao nights - 26 and 30 July and 8 and 14 August - so 8 August is one of them; and by santafeopera.org/2003/maoweekend.php (Wayback 3 May 2003) for the 26 July world premiere. Conductor and three of the principals are independently confirmed by Wikipedia, List of operas performed at the Santa Fe Opera, 2003: Madame Mao, Bright Sheng, English, John Fiore, Colin Graham, Anna Christy / Alan Opie / Kelly Kaduce. The calendar is an advance page, so it establishes that 8 August was a Mao night rather than that this tape is that night; the cast sheet is the only document that names the night, and is the primary document for a private recording. Chorus left unset - the sheet names eight apprentice singers as The Accusers, the Victims, the Committee but no chorus.
