Compare the same year (2006) production of this opera of La Scala, starring d'Arcangelo and Diana Damrau to see the difference, and the REAL Mozartian style.

i was stunned to hear that she was singing susanna and not the contessa. That would have been much more appropriate

Terrible.

@aeru9 no need to say sorry on the contrary I should thank you you for informing me and I say sorry to you for I spoke with errant knowledge actually I write a lot of article on the subjest of opera and have even writen a book "New York's Opera Society" so by telling me this you have done me a favor if you care to read some of my article google my name "Truvianni"' I usually do not make such mistakes so grazie
-
@truvianni yes... and sorry for my harsh tone... I did not want to be rude or something...^^
-
@aeru9 I did not know that I just checked it and it is true there were no mezzos at that time yet I was aware that Cherubino was a mezzo well I have always heard that part performed as such thanks for the information
-
@truvianni so untrue! In 1700-1800, there was no mezzosoprano, and if you would look into the score, you would see that there is not a single mezzorole in "Figaro" (yes, even Marcellina is really high in her 4.act aria). If there is a mezzosoprano, take Cherubino (and even Cherubino is a soprano, the first Cherubino was to the first Despina).
-
@aeru9 Since Mozart first wrote it! It has always been a mezzo-soprano's role.
-
@truvianni Since when is the role of Susanna a mezzo?
slow or not.... she's sings this aria beautifully, simply.
