Mozart - Voi che sapete (Le Nozze Di Figaro) - Amadea

"Voi, che sapete" is Cherubino's second aria from Act II of Mozart's opera - Le Nozze di Figaro (1786). The music is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the libretto is by Lorenzo da Ponte (adapted from Beaumarchais' drama - Le Marriage de Figaro).

The Opera takes place in the Castle of Count Almaviva near Seville in the 17th century. "Voi, che sapete" is sung by the page, Cherubino. Cherubino, a young man of about 16 or 17 years old, has learned in Act I that the Count Almaviva is going to send him to war as a soldier. But, Cherubino is in love with every woman of Count Almaviva's Court, including his wife - the Countess Rosina. He is not cut out to be a soldier, but rather a lover of all of the women...

During this aria Cherubino has gone to the Countess' bedroom to speak to her and Susanna about his terrible plight. Susanna asks him to sing them one of his love songs. Cherubino forgets all about his sad story with the army and sings the beautiful aria, "Voi, che sapete" to the Countess while Susanna accompanies him on the guitar.

Live Performance of "Voi, che sapete" by Amadea (Mezzo-Soprano), accompanied by Jens Holzkamp (piano). April 2008.

The singer's awesome. No offense but the video quality sucks and the acoustics of the place she's singing in, is terrible.

I loved it. I was singing along to it. But I'm a soprano so it wasn't very sitting for me to sing it. but I still had fun. Keep making more voice videos! =)
