  • That is wonderful. My favourite opera - and you've just introduced me to one of the best performances of it I have ever seen. Thank you so much. :))

  • Heh, you're welcome! I love this performance as well, even though I think the Glyndebourne production with Miah Persson et al. is just as lovely, if not more (still, no one can beat Allen as Don Alfonso and Bartoli as Despina).

  • It is not fair this ending with Despina...=( She wanted to prove the grooms her mistresses futile nature, and she did it. They fell for the trap, so Despina actually done them all a favour in teaching everybody a nice lesson on humility and prudence. She deserves a good ending, c'mon... =D

    Great performances, though! ;)

  • @LienPT Hard to call this one--the opera allows for some play in interpregation. I am with Despina in the discovery that what she felt was true was true.

  • @antmusique Both performances are splendid. Hard to pick one over the other. This is also my favourite opera and I love the other two Da Pont/Mozart operas as much.

  • Don Alfonso just sits back and thinks, "I'll enjoy this."

  • I saw this production.

    Thank you!

    Susanne Mentzer is ridiculous.

  • Thanks so much for posting the whole thing.

  • I love Cecilias performance, great Despina, great Despina!!!! She looks fantastic as a notario and better as a doctor. Brava, bravísima!!!!!!

  • I love this production. I was it on television with my father. We both loved it.

  • I agree with you!!!!!

  • I agree with you.

  • I saw this production, and have 3 recorded versions, but I forgot just how good this was! Bravo a tutti, and thanks for posting.
