Act 4 -5 Le nozze di Figaro (Met'99) Finale

[wtpgoj]

my beloved opera in favourite version :)

[TheVaughan5]

Shame Levine rushes the finale and robs the music of it's greatness. Karl Bohm was so much better when I heard him conduct Figaro some years ago. Great cast.

[jrjorgensen2519]

@TheVaughan5 Do you mean the final part of the finale, from the allegro assai? We're doing a production of this right now and really Levine isn't taking it THAT much faster than what it's supposed to be. A tad, but hardly.

[inocentiu5]

Brava , Renee !



[thedridis]

The scene where he asks for forgiveness and she gives it is my favorate of all opera scenes EVER. It gives me chills. The count is a good guy after all, LOL.

[Vincenzo2010an]

5:52! lucky count to kiss Fleming....

[1AdrianR]

Undoubtedly the Most Perfect Opera Ever Written.

[vinciano]

@1AdrianR Perfeclty agree. The most perfect and on of the three greatest ever, with Don Giovanni and Tristan.

[carolinahermelina]

This is one of the best prodution of ''Le nozze di Figaro''. Thank you so much for sharing! Bravi tutti! Viva Mozart!

[Falstaff85]

Too many notes.

[chibilover4ever]

Wow, how Beautiful! I would love to see this Opera live. I've only seen Rigoletto live. I have seen several on the telly and this one on youtube. I would LOVE to perform at the met someday. It's been my dream since the 4th grade when I watched Cats for the first time XD

[annare59]

Ничего более прекрасного нельзя представить! Звездный состав,Бартоли искрометна,легка и неотразима в роли Сюзанны,словно для нее Моцарт писал ее. А Рене так и вовсе воплощение гармонии,я плакала...Господь водил рукой Моцарта,когда он создал эту оперу и такая великолепная постановка! Совершенно...Спасибо!!!

[petterolmunger]

The spirit of love rules! Thanks for making this wonderful production of the king of operas available!!

[entropyftw]

I love this so much, I think I'll go watch it again.

Right now.

Thank you.

[celiarebecca]

4 people who disliked this have no souls.

[cbailward]

What a cast all at the peak of their careers. One of the most sublime moments in opera when the Countess forgives her husband and so beautifully portrayed by Fleming who must be among the greatest Countesses of all time. Terfel and Bartoli are joyfully witty and the remainder of the cast make this an operatic treat. It couldn't be better

[49bobbyk]

Music so beautiful. It is incredible.

[1AdrianR]

I found myself clapping at the end of this. Amazing.

[ambrosius]

I am to sing the role of figaro in my university's production of The Marriage of Figaro this fall. It will be an incredible experience.

[ambrosius]

I sing the role of figaro in my university's

[rossmcl177]

I just have to add my thanks to you Anatole. I have been an opera fan for many years and love Mozart's work - I'm a huge fan of Cosi and Don Giovanni. But somehow I never quite 'got' Figaro. I have tried many times over the years but I never was quite able to make it capture my soul in the way the others have...... Until now! I've just watched the whole thing, and I now finally get it!. so thank you for these posts. You've given me a treasure to enjoy for many years. 8=)

[miep8675]

i'm jealous of that little girl at 6:21...Renee Fleming is touching her shoulder lol.

[otacs2]

Thank you very much for this upload! I watched the whole opera, Cecilia Bartoli is great!

[MrNewyorker9]

3:25 - 5:50 It is a hymn to love, the most romantic music I've ever heard

[aarond53]

AnatoleBelge, I cannot thank you enough for uploading this wondrous production of such an incredible opera. I would not have had the opportunity to see this incomparable production of the Met if it weren't for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[reevolution137]

This makes me cry. How can God invent a man who can create something so beautiful and then create men who murder each other?

[MacktheNice]

Can such a stellar cast ever be assembled again? Superb!

[mrskinoti]

@ AnatoleBelge I saved my thank you for this last clip. I really enjoyed watcing it. Thank you so much for uploading the whole opera. But I would also like to know if it's from a TV show or a DVD or what.

3:25 gives me goosebumps.

[HerrWarja]

Forgivness is so beutiful, a specially with the music of Mozart.

[HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaNo]

i have seen this preformed live a few times and the woman lead is not good the sound is wrong it her voice to high not crisp enough she ruins this

[Steroid0Strad]

i watched these guys in Don Giovanni, that guy is Don Giovanni.

[isabelle070209]

Le meilleur en DVD.

[kajsije]

where did u find the dvd..... is it downloaded or bought...

[gregpdx1970]

I like music of ALL sorts, and I have to wonder... How can 1 minute and 8 seconds of music be so mind-altering? Listen to the last 68 seconds of the opera, from 5:59 to 7:07... Absolutely my favorite music on the planet. "Corriam tutti a festegiar!" Indeed!

[plocequ1]

I have just seen the face of God. The finale of all finales.

[jdghgh]

Marvelous! Bravo!

[tenorant]

Great to have the bows in also thank you x

[dmsaa]

Thank you so much for posting "Le Nozze di Figaro"!! Thank you so much again, AnatoleBelge!!!

[joboy1992jesto]

1:35 i luvv figaro's expression.. just great acting!!,, and lovely music

[ForTheHorde420]

BRAVISSIMO!!! Mozart was a true musical genius and this opera proves it beyond a doubt!!

[zegermans750]

Bartoli is better suited for rossini.

The not-to-well known 93 production was better

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

who was in the 93 production?

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

this is my favorite finale to an opera and or musical. my second is the ending to sweeney todd. but anyways this is perfect.

[Lanark8]

3:23 my fav peice of music ever... brings tears to my eyes every time.

[HARMONICO101]

That final ensemble, with "My lady forgive me" and "I forgive you" and everyone singing "Now we are all content"... it also tears me up every time.

[1AdrianR]

@HARMONICO101 Agreed

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

this is perfection although i can hear more of the soprano line then the bass tenor and baritone lines they make up or it in the beauty and enthusiasm and power

[Lanark8]

Fleming has a very large voice. She can overpower. However, I think this combinaton works rather well. Kind and warm regards my friend in music!

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

and bartoli is on the soprano line as well

[isabelle070209]

Quelle distribution...

[kgmcal315]

Renee Fleming rocks in this!!! I absolutly love her in everything she does.

[jamminpiano]

I too finished watching this opera in its entirety, and I would like to thank you so very much for bringing this treasure to the public. Productions like these are what makes classical music timeless, and to view such fantastic material on YouTube is quite ground-breaking. I hope this opens eyes for many a-person, for being an opera major myself, more people need to see productions like these to bring opera alive again. And it is quite alive in this video. Thank you so very much for posting.

[Lanark8]

3:26 wow! Perfection!!!

[opidacul]

I just finished watching the opera. thank you AnatoleBelge this was a beautiful night for me. this production of Nozze was incredible in every way. my dreams tried to transcend to that night at Met in 99. and what a cast.... WHAT A CAST... they were magnificent, all of them. thank you for the post once again

[schambi333]

ceciliaaaaaaaaaaaaaa =) :)

[Lanark8]

Yes, she is very special. Very...

[whatthecello42]

3:25 - 5:50 is some of the most beautiful music ever. It was used in the movie "Amadeus."

[comic4relief]

Truly a classic moment of Eighteenth-century art, this opera has always been successful and world-renowned. That is why it is predominately featured in the movie.

[HParker001]

@whatthecello42 Tis, but the music that follows is even better :)

[dht23]

@whatthecello42 "I saw on the stage a woman, dressed in her maid's clothes, hearing her husband speak the tenderest words to her he had in years because he thought she was someone else. And then her voice, a soaring forgivnesss, we were all forgiven." I believe is how Salieri put it in the "Amadeus". One of the best and truest movie lines ever!

[sebreathnach]

@whatthecello42 May be you're quite right ... But I can't help feeling that, all in all, it's hard to be the 'Don'!

[papagena1991]

@whatthecello42

When I listen to the music the countess sang,

I am so touched.

I was thinking that this is the opera Mozart's want,

which performers are not just screaming and rolling their eyes .

[Cylleruion87]

Oi, the finale is a beast to sing. Well done!

[StabbityFun]

I hear you, I'm doing the english version at the minute as Basilio and it's mozart didn't take it easy on the tenor line, fantastic to do though

[gregpdx1970]

The final minute of the opera, the "Corriam tutti a festeggiar!"... I LOVE THAT! I think it's one of the most beautiful, uplifiting finales I know.

[jdghgh]

Wonderful!

This might be the greatest opera of all.

[ocramizz]

Maybe my favourite version of "Contessa perdono" here on youtube, for the music and the recitation too!

[sopran21]

the scene of "Contessa perdono"  always bring tears to my eyes.

this music is a true perfection that only a genuis like mozart can compose this kind of divine music.
