Don Carlos discography

This is a list of audio and video recordings (discography) of Don Carlos, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, known as Don Carlo in its Italian-language versions. Don Carlos premiered as a five-act French grand opera at the Théâtre Impérial de l'Opéra in Paris on 11 March 1867. In 1883, Verdi created a revised 4-act version in French, which was first performed in Milan in Italian translation and has since generally been performed and recorded in Italian. In 1886, Ricordi published a 5-act (Modena) version without the ballet with the first act added to the 4-act 1883 revision. The 1886 Modena version has been recorded in French and in Italian. Since 1973, some performances in Italian and in French have restored music cut before the Paris premiere, especially the introduction to Act 1 (with a chorus of woodcutters). When all the music known to have been cut before the 1867 premiere is included, and the ballet (written in 1867) is omitted, it is sometimes referred to as the "1866 version".
