Sadly, the first broadcast, as well as over one hundred others, are probably lost forever.  Why?  For one thing, the first agreement between the Metropolitan and NBC in 1931 included this:  "It is expressly understood that no sound record or disc shall be made of such broadcast for phonograph reproduction, or reproduction by any other device or process."  Of course, this did not stop the artists themselves -- most notably, in the early years, Tibbett, Martinelli and Flagstad -- from contracting with New York recording studios to preserve their performances.   And it did not stop the pioneer home recordists, including the New York dentist who, according to David Hamilton, recorded excerpts of two 1933 Leider-Melchior Tristan und Isolde broadcasts between appointments with patients.  Today, very little exists in more than fragmented form before 1935.  And, surprisingly, there are major post-war gaps between 1945 and 1948, when ABC sponsored the broadcasts.  But from 1950 on, with a handful of possible exceptions, the Met's recorded legacy is complete.  Here is a list of those "lost" broadcasts (both radio and television):
