A very ingenious staging for getting around the fact that although the tenor is generally the hero and of a higher rank, the baritone is likely to dominate physically because he's usually taller.
the subs. really help opera idiots like me, thank you. florez is wonderful in this. i note in other comments on 'tube, when his critics cannot find fault with his voice and performance, they criticize his skin quality and make up. two words come to mind when i read this, 'nit' and 'picking'.

@sonomabob I especially like the Dr. Bartolo character. He is a fool, sure. But played with a touch of real menace. Makes it a more real character.

I think Peter Mattei is the best Figaro ever. he's so playful with it! amazing production of an amazing opera!
