Had the privilege to sing in this opera many times and be on stage for this last scene (only in our production, Rodney Gilfrey sang Figaro, not the Count!). The last ensemble is the music of paradise. It's what I'd like to hear on my deathbed. A tutti contenti saremo cosi.

[@judithcarr629]

My absolute favorite version of this opera - all so right for their parts.

El acto final de la mejor Opera de Mozart nunca me canso de oirla

[@kestalphillips2061]

Marvelously sung and acted. Brava tutti!

[@paengs.delrosario7804]

16:12 to 18:38 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL piece of music...EVER WRITTEN...🎶🎼🎵

[@frjonathanhill9817]

Indeed it is - nobody ever has and probably nobody ever will do better.

[@rhcb1]

Exactly, along with the "Christe Eleison" from the C Minor Mass. This is why, along with only Shakespeare, Mozart is the greatest creatice artistic genius that has ever lived.

[@andredarin8966]

The voice of God through imperfect vessels.

[@jeffallcock4561]

"Ah tutti contenti" is simply...sublime. You feel like all yr sins, imperfections, whatever, are being washed away in the music.

[@1earflapping]

Washed away in the music and one’s own tears.

[@rhcb1]

The sound of God conferring complete absolution

[@PDXGregor]

18:51-19:56. 65 seconds. If you ever needed to convince someone that Mozart was a genius without peer, those 65 seconds should do the job.

[@johnnyecho]

Greg Walker - incredible...

[@StudentAlephNull]

I'd say 16:47-17:18. Only 31 seconds, but they bear the weight of the entire opera. It's amazed me for decades that anyone could do that.

[@PDXGregor]

@@StudentAlephNull yeah, incredible seconds as well. I guess we all have our subjective Mozart exemplar passages. What a genius the man was.

[@VK-sp4gv]

I like to provoke a friend who thinks that Mozart was a lesser composer compared to Verdi/Wagner, "Yes, it's true. In fact, Mozart did not compose Nozze di Figaro, it was dictated to him by God".

[@nfnairobi]

@@VK-sp4gv In my opinion a more appropriate response would be "You are a moron; never speak to me again." It is best to get persons of low character out of your life.

[@tjsug08]

Just fabulous !!!

[@danieldanneman1169]

TNT!!!!!

[@julietcunningham852]

At last! A Susanna who can believably imitate the voice of the Countess! "Parlate un po' piu basso". Much easier in the play, of course.

[@hermine2003]

Briv, bravi, bravissimi....

[@sandywaddell4303]

Alison Hagley’s Susanna is just about perfect to me.

[@ulrikjensen6841]

Quelles modulations & changes of keys - keeps the tension constantly going

[@derekmorse8171]

this is a superb production, when and where was it produced please?

[@felixfourcolor]

It's officially my headcanon that Cherubino should hum the tune of Finch'han dal vino. I'm sure Mozart would approve of it.

[@TheRealPhenomS]

Make that the two of us. Its a lovely easter egg to sneak into this production.

[@ulrikjensen6841]

I am not so sure Mozart would have approved. Why should we be reminded of Don Giovañni in the middle of this folly? Cherubinois supposed to hum his cavatina: Vip che sapete...

[@sandywaddell4303]

Well, Mozart did slip “Non più andrai” into Don Giovanni, so it seems fair.

[@ryubushi8624]

Great from Bryn Terfel, real Welsh talent. CAB.

[@SuperOMG123456]

Is there a full version of this opera with this cast? If so, can anyone tell me or link it to me?!

[@SuperOMG123456]

Hello past me…it’s future/present me ! And to answer your question…Yes! There is a full version of it, with Italian sub which means you have to look up the English translation which is fine. Its still a wonderful/best rendition of the opera! Anyways here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6CUY2yHidVnotU

[@ShaulLeket-Mor]

What does the Countess even see in the Count? I don't get how she can forgive him like that....

[@TheAquila25]

3:46 Finale. Andante 6:52 con un po' piu di moto 9:22 larghetto 10:00 allegro di molto 13:00 andante
