Modern re-classifications of the voice types for Mozartian roles have been based on analysis of contemporary descriptions of the singers who created those roles and their other repertoire, and on the role's tessitura in the score.
In modern performance practice, Cherubino is usually assigned to a mezzo-soprano (sometimes also Marcellina), Count Almaviva to a baritone, and Figaro to a bass-baritone.[13] Mozart (and his contemporaries) never used the terms "mezzo-soprano" or "baritone". Women's roles were listed as either "soprano" or "contralto", while men's roles were listed as either "tenor" or "bass".
still it is supposed to sussana play the guitar, i have to watch the rest to get it. Schafer i love her, is a cool effortless cherubino

The Countess looks like Arianna Huffington. (Not a criticism, just an observation)

Isn't she soprano, isn't this written for mezzosoprano. Im not nit-picking, just trying to inform myself

@foobarsnow Yes, and you can see she lacks power on the low notes.

@foobarsnow You're right it is written for a mezzo.
