Cilea - Adriana Lecouvreur - Magda Olivero
Francesco Cilea ( 1866 - 1950)Magda Olivero, Ferrando Ferrari, Renato CapecchiMimi Aarden, Franco Ventriglia, Mario CarlinGroot Omroepkoor / Omroeporkestdir: Fulvio VernizziOpera Fanatic (BelCanto Society) -2014- Stereo 2 CDsConcert live recording in Amsterdam , 1965(Excellent sound)[flac & cue; cover, inlays, track list, disc scans]Review:"The opera with which Magda Olivero is most identified is Adriana Lecouvreur, Francesco Cilea’s 1902, verismo classic.

The Jeu de Paume is a restored 18th century miniature, where Erismena is given.
