Every Mozart opera has one section that I'll absolutely fall in love with its beauty; the section in this opera is at 3:14 when the Countess and Susanna have that georgeous theme:) Love it!
@musiccoloratura I would agree, especially Figaro. I think Mozart was at the top of his technical game in this opera, especially at this part. The way he balances and structures the voices .... pure genius.
For the record, this very same production (by Jonathan Miller) was first unveiled in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in May of 1991 with this splendid cast. It was released on video by SONY and is now long overdue for rerelease on DVD.
Terfel: best Figaro!

Angellic singing particularly from Renee and Cecelia but EVERYTHING is perfect. What a pity this is not available now on DVD or BluRay.
