It's amazing to me that this has been up for 6 months without comments. That said this is the type music I performed during my career and it is fiendishly difficult. Rossini seemed to set anything he was given no matter how bad the libretto. He must have also had at his disposal many incredible singers. I think if today's tenors didn't scream out high notes instead of using head voice or falsetto that there might be hope of these becoming repetory pices- so sad- Ernesto Vasselli

Yes, it´s amazing and very dissapointing. But I´m sure people wouldn´t know what to write if they watched this great video.

Thank you, Lindoro for uploading it. You certainly have incredible Rossini´s music recordings...

Going to the Met ! Not really, going to see this at the movies live HD. This is the best LIVE technology. The last one I went to was sold out. I love the Met but this is so great. It is only 15 min from my home.
