Argh! The beginning of the sextet is missing! : (

This scene shows why Bartoli was such a wondeful spicy Susanna -- she goes crosseyed with jealosy and is credible and funny at the same time. Bartoli and Fleming singing together was such a treat -- they are both such complete musicians.

Wait, did Cecilia Barotli just say, "your mother?" at 2:25?

[ambrosius]

Look at the awesome lip quiver from Cecelia at 5:30 haha
