Thanks. A nice recording. This opera has marvellous contrasts. The French diction was excellent. I wish we had had more of the commentary for the plot. We'll have to consult wikipedia for that. I actually saw the third part of Beaumarchais's trilogy of plays in a strange production at the Comédie Francaise. The opéra-comique by Massenet is from another play.
