"cent'e cent'e al armi al armi, cent'e cent'e aiutto aiutto": this is what an Italian-mother language hears - totally wrong.

Listen to Pietro Spagnoli's perfect Italian, here on youtube

[liszt80]

The Conte's Italian is catastrophic.

[Docaroo]

This is honestly the WORST prodcution of Figaro ever made. It actually DESTROYS the perfection of this opera. The conducter should be ashamed. I am embarrassed for him for producing this. Utterly terrible in every way.

[rationalmusicologist]

Bottom line is that opera is an ever evolving art form. I generally prefer traditional stagings myself but that doesn't mean I can't recognize the art in a modern production such as this. Just because it doesn't look or sound like your favorite recording doesn't mean it's bad. You have to bring a little more to the table than what I've seen in the comments here.

[rationalmusicologist]

Oh people, please get over yourselves. Almost every production of every opera on youtube has nothing but negative comments on it. You people bring nothing productive to the table as far as analysis. "Heartless performance" "killing mozart" "The count doesn't relate to the other characters". It's all subjective dribble.

@AmericanEvita Indeed!

[AmericanEvita]

Worst production of Le Nozze Di Figaro of all time

[BesACB]

Well. many people here don't seem to like this performance, but I think Mozart's genius shines through in every note!

[ElisabettaVS]

Yes, I love Pietro Spagnoli's Conte. He is actually my favourite in this role, next to my favourite bass-baritone Ruggero Raimondi, who has an extremely wonderful voice that sounds good in every role. But Pietro Spagnoli is really one of the best you can get for the Conte, I love his soft voice.

[ElisabettaVS]

I still think that it sounds good, the interpretation and everything. I like his voice as well. Of course, I am not an italian native speaker, so to me it probably sounds pretty good, even if his italian is very very bad.
