Angellic singing particularly from Renee and Cecelia but EVERYTHING is perfect. What a pity this is not available now on DVD or BluRay.

@Petroskeyful1 It is available on the Met Player, though. ;-)

Terfel: best Figaro!

[SilenceTheQuiet]

Every Mozart opera has one section that I'll absolutely fall in love with its beauty; the section in this opera is at 3:14 when the Countess and Susanna have that georgeous theme:) Love it!

@musiccoloratura I would agree, especially Figaro. I think Mozart was at the top of his technical game in this opera, especially at this part. The way he balances and structures the voices .... pure genius.

Dwayne Croft looks a little bit like Michael Bolton!

[joboy1992jesto]

[entropyftw]

At the end the women high-five...

Hilarious.

I think you changed the order of the titles. This shoud be act 2 -4.
