Otello

9/22/1978, live broadcast, KKHI and NPR.  Intermission interviews: #1 Placido Domingo (guest, artist), #2 Otello and Othello, Marc Roth and Ray Rheinhardt, #3 Look in to SF Opera's past, James Schwabacher(guest); 9/3/2017 archival broadcast KDFC.

This performance of "Otello" was to represent the American debut engagement
for Carlos Kleiber. Unfortunately, the maestro canceled and it never happened.
Still, that non-fact made it into the official biography of Kleiber and is being
repeated -- again and again and again.
