Amazing stuff, this. A privilege to view. Terrific singing obviously but look at the acting too. Someow I feel sure the great man himself would approve of this production.
Try searching for 'der zauberflote' or 'the magic flute'. You should get lots of hits. I'd recommend the one from the ROH with Diana Damrau and Dorothea Roschmann in it. :o)
I don't know why "Non Piu Andrai" reminds me of Christmas! I'd almost mistake it for a Christmas carol if I didn't already know this was from the Marriage of Figaro.
Sublime music! Mozart was an amazing composer... his work is filled with great complexity and simplicity all at the same time- it's flat-out perfect!
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.

Did you know that Ingmar Bergman made a film version in 1970s? You can see clips on You Tube.

So enjoyable I laughed so many times in this act. (I've sung with Bryn Terfel in a Welsh college concert years ago)
