I heard this production on the radio in March of 2007. Actually all I heard was this aria. I left home to run a quick errand. I quickly realized that I needed to pull my car over or I was going to run off the road! It was just stunning. The next morning at church choir, our director, a voice professor at the U. of S.C., asked me if i had heard it. It turned out that he and his wife were driving back to town on the Interstate and he had to pull over to listen to the end of the opera.
Words don't do justice, Flórez is my all-time favourite tenor. I can't describe what I feel when I hear him sing this, also the musicality and the amoroso section and the beautiful legato right in the midst of all these coloraturas that sound clear and like sparkling champagne. This is superb. Best rendition of this aria.
God had JDF in mind when he created Rossini. I can't say how many times I have listened to this and it still blows me away. I also love his version from the Royal Opera House (also with Joyce DD). Best Almaviva ever. But this entire production from the Met is among my favourites as well, the whole cast performed amazing and the staging was perfect, too.
What an amazing vocal feat! And this great tenor makes it look effortless. Few are willing or able to take on the challenge and so it is simply left out - but it's the crowning glory of this wonderful production, which was performed as Rossini meant it to be.
not then or today more than 24 years ago Juan Diego Florez was is will be the one and the Best. Always after he is (God help!)not singing enymore. i am so old one good thin i wiil not see it.marta darday
Grandiose , phenomenal already here!!! Juan Diego Florez!!! He was and is not only king of Belcanto -he is meanwhile the greatest tenor on earth with this divine fascinating addictive voice and his charismatic beautiful young being !! He is a sensational , never to top gift of god and we can be so thankful and happy to have him in our time!🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏❤️🇵🇪❤️
Folks, listen also to Francisco Araiza in this repertoire. They are both top notch. Araiza in Cinderella with an outstanding Frederica von Stade remains the best all round version of this opera to my mind. Enjoy.
Diabolico Rossini and even more diabolico Florez ❤️
La musica di Rossini é terapia per me

Wat een prachtige stem en je acteert schitterend ♉️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Perfect coloratura, high notes like a laser beam, beautiful phrasing, distinctive and unique voice. Florez is unsurpassable in this repertoire.

JDF is perfection, but amongst the perfection is the divine middle, lyrical section, that sets him apart from all other Almavivas!
Born to sing Rossini ♥️♥️♥️
People know all about the Figaro intro but this is vocal virtuosity on a rarely paralleled scale in opera history

Me too 😊. I return to this video again and again. It is a masterpiece! Brilliant voice, brilliant belcanto!
Bravo Florez !!!! This is bel canto singing at its very best , superb !!!!
JDF does justice to a difficult bel canto aria often left out in other productions.
Flórez’ best version, superior to his studio rendition.
Un immense artiste, unique dans ce rôle où il excelle plus que tout autre jusqu'ici. Bravo.
That whole minute of applause is so poignant!..
One of golden JDF's arias in his golden yesrs! Such a pleasure to hear it again and again!
oof, juandi really was out there, hittin all the notes just *chef kiss*
Best opera ever ❤️❤️❤️
fai onore al bel canto BRAVO
Fantastico

Too bad the Count got bored with her and did a complete 180 on his character in the sequel.
The Count is evil from the start, he threatens to kill Basilio in this one.
Well, he turned into a baritone. Of course he became evil.
