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.
This scene shows why Bartoli was such a wondeful spicy Susanna -- she goes crosseyed with jealosy and is credible and funny at the same time. Bartoli and Fleming singing together was such a treat -- they are both such complete musicians.
Wait, did Cecilia Barotli just say, "your mother?" at 2:25?

And for once, Marcellina actually looks enough like Figaro that she could be his mother, if a bit youngish.
