  • anyone else notice the act 1 finale in this is like the exact same as la cenerentola?

  • @Norvely12 similar patron, but not the same music...is quite different

  • You're right. I had already mentioned it. Indeed she goes cross eyed quite often. And we love her for it.

  • Rossini was to opera . . . what Phil Spector was to rock.

  • Aw I'd like to see more. Anywhere I can find the whole episode?

  • Yeah just the company players...like Florez, Damrau, Ramey and Mattei...just normal singers !:)

  • what an aweful excerpt to choose

  • I have to agree that this was a poor choice for Letterman. I mean, I get that they wanted to show off the whole ensemble and production, as it were, but one aria from a well-voiced and attractive singer would probably be more interesting for the casual viewer.

  • they got a decent reaction from the audience, no?

  • Love this number and any way to get opera to the people is fine with me! While Ms.Damrau's voice is lovely, I prefer Joyce Di Donato as Rosina; she OWNS the role!

  • somebody once commented and said that Diana has a small voice, now i may be crazy but if her last few C's didn't cut through the leads, the choir, and the orchestra then maybe i am crazy but i think they did :p

  • lol but they really should have just let him sing largo al factorum
