Thanks so much for this video. I think the creative power portrayed in this Opera outruns the creativity I have see in modern entertainment such as Films. Just imagine the brain power of Mozart and DePonte putted to work in creating a Film.

This is better than gold with all of Antonio's insight, wisdom and incredible musical genus. I am learning the role of The Countess for a production here in the US and this is so very helpful. Thank you so much.

Love Pappano, can't wait to see him conduct live one day

couldn't agree more with it: "This is Mozart at the top of his game."
