5.0 out of 5 stars Witty and Delicious, 1 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I wasn't familiar with this Rossini Opera, but I'm very glad to know it now. The producton is fast moving and funny. All the soloists are superb and play up to their characters very well. How do they manage the fast bits without tripping over their tongues?! The orchestra was also superb and Conductor Franz Welser-Most kept everything together beautifully. There are so many good and fine moments that it's not possible to mention them all. Nice to see Ruggero Raimondi doing Opera Buffo-I've only seen him as a nasty Scarpia. He's still doing his lascivious bit though!!
I noticed the front of the staging had started to collapse(you'll have to watch the DVD to see what I mean)so had Oliver Widmer(Poet). At the beginning of the First Act Finale,if you look closely) you will see him putting it back together!
Altogether a fun experience. It won't please everyone, but it's a perfect antidote to a gloomy day. I love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun, Rossini at his most Mozartine, 22 Nov 2008
By Aquinas "summa" (celestial heights, UK) - See all my reviews
This is colourful and funny and Bartoli is on top form as usual. This is my favourite Rossini opera, principally because in this opera, Rossini's musical writing appears very close to Mozart. When all is said and done though, Rossini is no Mozart and one can tire of Rossini. By contrast, Mozart's operas have something of the eternal about them.
