Although there are no full-length recordings of Nina, its most famous aria, "Quand le bien-aimé reviendra", can be heard on Serate Musicali (Joan Sutherland (soprano), Richard Bonynge (piano), Decca, 2006) The opera is referenced by name and synopsis in Episode 5, Season 4 of the science fiction series Stranger Things.
