This production looks like a collision between Mozart and Shakespeare. The costumes detract rather than add to the setting, making him look like a silly dandy and her like Ophelia looking for the stream. I wish directors would story board everything and subject it to intense scrutiny before going overboard on something like this, or even worse, the CG production....
I really *loved* them both in Le Nozze di Figaro (as Figaro and Cherubino). But this, I don't know, Don G is no seducer at all and Zerlina seems to be rather disgusted by him. It is a rather old-fashioned (ridiculous) production, though.

I think, she is really good, but he... I don`t like his voice, perhaps, it`s only for me so.

She has a very beautiful voice, but he lacks something, I don't know exactly what, charisma? Someone help me to define it...

After you've seen Battle in the role, there is something, right.
And the costumes/direction are quote off. Pity for the beautiful voices.
