I'm so glad you're a mezzo, such an under-rated voice and for me always a delight to hear and when I did choral work such difficult and rewarding singers to work with. I really don't understand what people rave so much about soprano's and tenors. The Bass and Bass Baritone voice together with the contralto and mezzo voice has so much more to enjoy. By the way, Mozart wrote the most sublime aria during this Opera. Come Scoglio is a wonderous aria with an amazing demand for the singers accurate lines.
Fiordiligi Ah, guarda, sorella, Se bocca più bella, Se petto più nobile Si può ritrovar. Dorabella Osserva tu un poco, Che fuoco ha ne' sguardi! Se fiamma, se dardi Non sembran scoccar. Fiordiligi Si vede un sembiante Guerriero ed amante. Dorabella Si vede una faccia Che alletta e minaccia. Fiordiligi Io sono felice. Dorabella Felice son io. Fiordiligi e Dorabella Se questo mio core Mai cangia desio, Amore mi faccia Vivendo penar.
Wonderful. Saw this live, also w/ Mia Persson. New Met production is fun ONCE, but I hope they saved this one to bring back. And for another change check out Isabel and Mia in the Guth production from Salzberg.
One of my favorite duets to sing-ever. I was a mezzo, so I sang the part of Dorabella. I’ve always enjoyed playing (the piano) or singing Mozart.

They are perfect together!
I just love Susanna Phillips
Isabel Leonard singing Mozart is simply divine! Both singers are gorgeous in this duet.
Love Isabelle Leonard
Who wouldn’t fall for these charming sisters? Mozart should always sound so easy (if we’re lucky)!
Fiordiligi
Ah, guarda, sorella,
Se bocca più bella,
Se petto più nobile
Si può ritrovar.
Dorabella
Osserva tu un poco,
Che fuoco ha ne' sguardi!
Se fiamma, se dardi
Non sembran scoccar.
Fiordiligi
Si vede un sembiante
Guerriero ed amante.
Dorabella
Si vede una faccia
Che alletta e minaccia.
Fiordiligi
Io sono felice.
Dorabella
Felice son io.
Fiordiligi e Dorabella
Se questo mio core
Mai cangia desio,
Amore mi faccia
Vivendo penar.
