I actually like the costume and make up!

Fabuleux

[raigekimaru]

so this is where they got the idea for the joker's makeup :P

[Arashi110]

I know it's already been said but someone should have killed the costume designer.

Before making the costumes please...

[Arsace88]

Non solo il costume, ma l'intera scenografia... gli ori della Semiramide, il fasto della corte babilonese, dove sono?? Hanno tagliato un pò della cabaletta... peccato. Comunque, la voce di Ramey è favolosa!

[hologramlink108]

The person who designed that costume should burn in hell seriously !

[Agorante]

Before Ramey the best known recording of this aria was by Tancredo Pasero. Alas Pasero skips so much of the hard parts that it is hardly recognizable.

[ergoae]

i love the performance, though i would not have thought it possible for Ramey to look like a goth courtier just escaped from a collapsing hair-salon

[foropera]

Fantastic guy. The begining here in France of his fame! Funny costume!
