THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ON PIRATE CD

This discography of radio broadcasts and in-house recordings on compact discs is devoted
mainly to non-commercial issues, and is arranged by composer. There are still some
mistakes such as roles assigned improperly. There have been MET issues on foreign labels
without international distribution that I have not had access to, and I have not included those
here. I wish to thank Pierre Guillemette of Candiac, Quebec, for the countless corrections
that he made in the early stages of this project, and Bill DePeter of New York for his major
contributions.
Compact disc serial numbers are followed by the total number of CDs in the set, and this is
followed by the year of issue when known.
