I doubt that in the thousands and thousands of performance of Figaro over more than two centuries, theer has EVER been a better cast of the three principal ladies than Te Kanawa, Cotrubas and von Stade. When I first saw this performance, 40 years ago now, it put a fire that has never gone out under my love of opera.

Il y a eu mieux sept ans plus tard avec gundula janowits, Lucia Popp et f von stadt...mais j aime beaucoup le chef d orchestre Pritchard, quelle élégance, quelle modestie..un chef d orchestre injustement oublié..
Je partage votre sentiment. J'adore Frédérica von Stade. Sa voix est assez fantastique. Kiri Te Kanawa et Cotrubas sont également très douées. Merveilleuses et exceptionnelles.
This is genuinely the best Glyndebourne has ever done and definitely the best Marriage of Figaro, ever.
Figaro was the first opera I ever listened to, and this production was the first I ever saw. I rented it from the library over and over and over again. By now, I can pretty much tell you each line by heart. I will forever be drawn to this particular performance.
I just finished watching it for the first time and I can fully understand you!

The noted music critic, the late J. B. Steane, in his 1983 Gramaphone review of the 1982 Decca Records' production* of "Figaro" (the "stellar" cast included Te Kanawa, Popp, von Stade, Samuel Ramey, Thomas Allen, Kurt Moll, et al., with Sir George Solti conducting the London Philharmonic), wrote that "never, in all his many years of opera-going, had he heard a Countess as good as Kiri Te Kanawa's."
Case closed.
*Won the 1983 Grammy Award for "Best Operatic Recording of 1983".
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa we are both of similar age, I've followed you through the years and listened to your beautiful voice!!! Where have the years gone? Life is but a vapour!!! But thanks to TH-cam we can listen to your voice until we are no longer on this planet!!!
Mozart's use of the clarinet in expressing love as in Porgi Amor, exquisite.
Wonderful production. I like Cotrubas' acting very much, she's a formidable actress!
Especially in La traviata!!! Her recording, with Domingo and Milnes, is by far my favorite! There is a vulnerable quality to her voice, which lends itself so well to Violetta.
@@xxsaruman82xx87 Her best Violetta is with Carlos Kleiber, who was just a wonderful accompanist and paid close attention to the smallish voice of Cotrubas. But that is not taking anything away from her she was a wonderful Violetta and Mimi.
@@orientaldagger6920 I think her voice was smallish and light, but compared to modern sopranos her projection and clarity were exemplary. The Kleiber recording is great, but there are some wonderful live recordings of her Violetta, not least this one from 1971: th-cam.com/video/oi8dLmOlkH0/w-d-xo.html
@@xxsaruman82xx87 She must be quite an experience to see live. She is so natural it is as if you are peeking into her daily life as Violetta or Susanna and not watching her perform and that I think is her greatest asset.
Completely agree. The detail in her acting in the Act 2 finale, in particular is better than I've ever seen, in countless performances of this greatest of all operas.
Kia Ora Dame Kiri.. bloody beautiful. Completely and utterly delightful. Mozart would've been on his feet in absolute rapture at this interpretation of his fine work.
FrOm my heart, thank you so much. I'm in mid-COVID, feeling miserable, and I see this. I feel like Cherubino, trying to describe how wonderful this music means to me, especially now. Thank you so much. aloha from hawaii
As a kid in the 70s, my school took us to 2 "kid" operas at the LA Shrine auditorium--abbreviated versions of The Magic Flute and Hansel and Gretl. I was hooked. My first "adult" opera was the SFOpera Marriage of Figaro in the mid-80s with Dame Kiri TeKanawa. To this day, that shines as the best production I've seen of my favorite opera. She was sublime and the reason I went back to see Capriccio a few years later. This is heaven! Thank you Dame Kiri.
Perfect opera. Perfect cast. Perfect production. Perfect orchestra. Perfect conductor.
The last ensemble just before the finale, is more me, the most sublimely beautiful music ever written... Mozart was a genius, and the mood of ‘forgiveness’ and love just come through ... this ensemble makes me cry every time I hear it!
That’s always been one of my favorite numbers too. That was possibly the librettist’s crowning achievement over a long lifetime of writing, those four lines. There he lets his old Jewish tradition shine through (the tradition calls for the sinner, in this case the Count, to seek forgiveness from his victim with three genuine apologies, and for the victim to forgive, emulating God’s forgiveness. Mozart in the music takes it a step further - Rosina forgives not only her husband, but everyone listening.)
It did not last. Before the year was out,
The Count was once again a slave to women,
The Countess had a child by Cherubino,
Susanna was untrue to Figaro,
Young gallants went to bed with Barbarina.
But for a moment, till the music faded,
They were all ravished by a glimpse of heaven,
Where everything is known and yet forgiven,
And all that is not music is pure silence.
Literally the most flawless production.
One of the best performances ever . ♥
so true.
agree
You should respect the English language by beginning your sentence with a capital letter.
Frederica, Kiri, Ilieana WOWWWWWW.
👍👍👍👏👏👏👋
Kiri is total class
Simply perfect. The Marriage of Figaro - perhaps the greatest piece of art ever written and created and performed to perfection. Thank you.
I could not have said more succinctly ... listening to Mozart's Le Nozze I am Joyfully reminded how Wonderful it is to have even been born .
Ya, where the subtitle's gone in Act 2 et sequantes ? Thanks but No Thanks!
Hard to argue...a close 2nd would be Don Giovanni. But Figaro has a funnier storyline.
Don giovanni est au dessus.
The musical dialogue is fantastic
So it is impossible to focus on race riots, police brutality, Covid, politics, and everything else going on in the world today while watchhing this...thank you Mozart, thank you artists, and thank you for posting this
absolutely! Figaro elevates the heart so we can transcend the hideous thing that is today's garbage news. Bravo Mozart, and as always... Thank You
Right on. If not for figaro, Giovanni, life would just not be worth it.
This is the best Figaro ever, which I had the privilege to see, and many, many revivals with excellent casts. All other productions never ever came close, a true Gyndebourne classic. A stella cast including Frederica von Stade, Kiri of course , seedy John Fraytt. Peter Halls production was so tight and intimate, so very intense. It is a joy to relive the performance, it lives up to my happy memories.
Undoubtedly the greatest Figaro ever put on tape.
It is just hard to mess up Figaro. Get some singers who can sing and and as a conductor don't milk it and it will work.
Vibrant cast and Bravo to the singer who portrays Antonio - a performance that is often quickly forgotten. That's not the case here.
Kiri te was on for this role. Can’t fault her singing or interpretation. The ‘70’s was a great era for opera.
I think she just started singing this role maybe around 1972. But can't argue that this is one of her signature roles and she excels at the pure lyricism in the part, as opposed to her Tosca which was more or less a caricature.
Dear Dame Kiri, thank you so much for this. Thank you for you beautiful and enchanting music/voice and thank you more so for being you, the consumate professional performer.
A gem. Love watching this opera. A timeless performance.
A first rate performance. Thanks!
This is such a wonderful production with a stellar cast!
It’s a shame that the cc stopped about half an hour in!
Я слушал не одну поставку оперы Le Nozze di Figaro , но постановка 1973 года с участвием самых великих и невероятных Моцартовских певиц ,это что то особенное. Это самая лучшая мировая постановка всех времен Свадьбы Фигаро, из за самых потрясающих голосов. Kiri te Kanava, Ileana Cotrubas , Frederica fon Stade !!!!!!❤❤❤
Кто послушал это великое оперное чудо , другие постановки слушать уже не будет...
Самая прекрасная , лучшая, классическая постановка Моцарта Свадьба Фигаро Le nozze di Figaro, с самыми лучшими, невероятными и прекраснейшими голосами за всю историю этой оперы!!!!!!!
The third act was Bold, Brilliant!
The fourth, was Astounding!

her husband.
Thank you Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, this is my favorite version of La Nozze, have it on DVD but still like to see it here.
This is the version I watched some 30 yrs ago in college on Laserdisc if you can believe it !
Nagyon szeretem Mozart zenéjét ,a figaro házassága volt, az első amit az operahazunkban volt szerencsém látni . Nálam Mozart zenéje abszolút az első listavezető!
A flawless production, with the most delightful and memorable performers.
Excellent , vestuari , decoracio , de la epoca de Mozart , i , totes les veus de la opera excellent ❤❤
I've been a fan of Figaro since I saw it in the late 1970s and watch various performance from around the world over and over again. Porgi amour breaks my heart every time. No other opera celebrates life so fully. No other performance is as good as this one. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Kiri Te Kanava , истинная певица Моцарта.Когда поет Kiri и Ileana, то это поет сам Моцарт!!!!!
The beauty of this production for me is in the intimacy of the Glyndebourne space, and thus the music making. The balance is excellent and the musical gestures are made with such clarity and elegance by the entire ensemble in a way that can be really be lost in a large theater like the Met. Also, every role is casted from strength; What a pleasure to hear them in this intimate setting! I think this is the performance that put Von Stade and Te Kanawa on the map to such an extent that Covent Garden revived the opera for them after this production.
A most excellent performance. What a graceful interpretation that is...It is always the case that Dame Kiri Te Kanawa introduces so much nobility, elegance and sweetness to the soul. How much more are we all set apart from animals and lower creatures by listening to this wondrous beauty.
Stupid paragraph. Why are you talking about animals??
Perfection!
mozart 😍😍😍
Its my favourite
this is the best preformance

Way are there only subtitles in act one?
* Why
Thanks! Magic performance.
Estupenda versión, grandes y jóvenes voces. Te Kanawa, Von Stade, Cotrubas, ideales en estos papeles mozartianos. El resto del elenco masculino excelente. Pritchard, Hall, de lo mejor. Gran performance en uno de los mejores festivales del mundo. Gracias KiriOnLine
This is a production that has yet to be matched muchless surpassed.
There is no such word in the English language as 'muchless'!
@@russellthompson9271 why r u being so silly in the comments russell
Wonderful performance!
Opera meravigliosa, Mozart cantato in maniera sublime e messa in scena maestosa. Non so che dire... questa è la versione delle Nozze in cui il bellissimo libretto di Da Ponte viene rispettato di più (la pantomima e il fandango del terzo atto, la scenografia del secondo, per non parlare del primo e del quarto). Anche la partitura è diretta in maniera stupenda (anche se il duettino "Aprite, presto aprite" di Susanna e Cherubino non è cantato per intero); grazie a Dio sono state eseguite anche le arie di Marcellina e Basilio nel quarto atto, e nel terzo l'ordine dei numeri musicali e dei recitativi è stato disposto in modo da dare un senso alla trama (si vede che il regista conosceva l'italiano). Kiri Te Kanawa come al solito superba nel ruolo della Contessa, Ileana Cotrubas una delle migliori Susanna che abbia visto e udito e la Von Stade è un Cherubino perfetto, con quella voce da mezzosoprano/soprano. Stesso dicasi per la Dongo: troppo spesso il personaggio di Marcellina è interpretato da mezzosoprani, mentre invece è un soprano come Donna Elvira nel Don Giovanni. In ogni caso questa produzione rimane la mia preferita❤ ovviamente adoro anche il film di Jean~Pierre Ponnelle (Diskau nel ruolo del Conte è oro puro!) ma se penso a come sarebbe potuta essere la prima rappresentazione dell'opera, al Burgtheatre di Vienna, in quel primo Maggio del 1786 mi viene in mente solo questo video. Grazie❤❤❤
Great cast. Especially the three ladies. Who is the best? Well, for me they are first equal.
ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ СПЕКТАКЛЬ!!!!! ЗОЛОТОЙ СОСТАВ!!!! ВСЕ НА ЕДИНОМ ДЫХАНИИ!!!! БРАВИССИМО!!!! СЛАВА МОЦАРТ!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎵🎶🎶🎶🌷🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻🌷🌺🌼🌻🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Les Noces de Figaro, prises au festival de Glyndebourne en 1973. Un grand classique parmi les classiques élus. L'orchestre dirigée par le grand accordeur d'opéra John Pritchard, et des voix somptueuses: le superbe Soprano Dramatique Kiri Te Kanawa, la formidable comédienne-Soprano-soubrette Ileana Cotrubas, le superbe Alto Frederica von Stade, le beau soprano Lyrico-Spinto Nucci Condo, et du côté des garçons, tous également remarquables, des chanteurs de grande qualité. Des décors épurés et nets. Très peu de draperie, pas même de rideaux sur les portes-fenêtres donnant accès à la véranda. Les sièges marquent la nuance du style et de l'époque. Des costumes beaux, mais sobres. Tout est représenté avec une grande synthèse de moyens, bien efficace d'ailleurs. Version parfaite, tant sur le plan musical comme dramatique. Grâce à un livret brillant de Lorenzo Da Ponte d'après Beaumarchais, la musique de Mozart plâne au dessus de la comédie, avec une adresse, un tact, une telle dextérité, un esprit romanesque si finement tissé...!! Les mélodies s'épanouissent avec une naturalité telle qu'on aurait peine à détacher la musique de la comédie, l'une étant si habilement incorporée à l'autre. Les trois premiers actes se déroulent à l'intérieur du château des comtes Almaviva, mais la clé est au quatrième acte, qui a lieu dans la pénombre du jardin, la nuit. L'acte commence avec la recherche de la petite Barbarina d'une certaine clé, imprudemment égarée par Cherubino losqu'il sauta dans le jardin. Or, tout le IVème. acte est à clé, étant la clé de l'opéra. Les beaux airs se succèdent, Marcelline, Basile, Figaro et la superbe scène de Suzanne, suivis par la mascarade. Car dans l'obscurité du jardin ont lieu des truchements: tout ce petit monde joue à se masquer, à la substitution de personnes, au cache-cache des identités, voilant leurs visages avec des capelines. Or, ce sont les régions sombres de la vie, où les sentiments sont parfois troqués. Après ce jeu de devinettes, l'intrigue de l'opéra est résolue au moyen du pardon réciproque de tous les personnages. Des choreutes sortent des buissons portant des fambeaux, et ce sont Da Ponte et Mozart qui nous apportent les torches de la béauté, de la gaieté, de la joie de vivre, de la liberté, nous permettant de plonger en aval de la fatuité de la vie quotidienne.

Both Te Kanawa and Von Stade in their very lovely prime. Little did we know at the time that we were witnessing the very end of the last age of great singing...
This is sublime, certainly, the only errors being the levels of sound recording, and Frederick Von State is 75 now....but I heard an equally sublime production of Figaro at Glyndebourne around 1998. As long as places like Glyndebourne exist, great singing will always be there.
Кири Те Канава, истинная певица Моцарта! Когда поет Кири и Илеана, то это поет сам Моцарт!!!Постановка 1973 года, одна из лучших!!!!!!
Beaumarchais' play was an attack on the vestiges of Feudalism, and aristocracy in France [and most of Europe], a political play if ever there was one. When Mozart adapted it for the opera it become about women, and 'Voi che sapete' is Mozart's anthem. The cast assembled for this production was well chosen for Mozart's purpose. The time when opera was a parade of voices was passed and opera required acting as well. This production gave us acting. splendid voices, comedy, pathos, spectacle and costumes. It was all here. Kiri te Kanawa touches the heart with 'porgi amor' and Maria von Stade provided the authentic voice of Mozart and every man who finds women enchanting. It is not a sexual matter but spiritual and Psychological. What a production that renders the plenitude of Mozart's vision.
why oh why did God take MOZART so young ..you understood the human voice like nobody else ...the like of which well never see again ... also God bless Dame Kiri ...
who are you talking about? the whole cast is still alive.
@@submarino006 MOZART
Magnifique très beau
Merci pour vous Dame Kiri Te Kanawa et vous Sophie von Stade
I LOVE this!!
Delicious production. My preference is for Mrs Cotrubas, whose excellent emission makes her beautiful voice always audible and clear. I have the impression that Mrs Te Kanawa's delicacy, as visually delightful as it is, sometimes makes her voice less well projected and so sometimes even inaudible.
Questa versione è perfetta!
Mozart's opera music was the best ever written.
"Figaro" has been called by many critics the most perfect opera ever written, and I can't disagree.
Some of Mozart's music in this opera is so brilliant that it is just a little bit frightening. I find I am bowled over by what some human beings can do in the musical field. Especially when you think of just how apaulling and brutal we can also be.
Today is May 1, 2018... it is the 232nd anniversary of the first performance ever of this beautiful work... at the Vienna Opera House... true greatness is immortal... I'm thankful to each and every person who has ever labored to bring this masterpiece to life ... here's wishing you another happy 232 years to come...
Atto 1, Scena 7 Recitative Basilio and Susanna - 27:58
Terzetto - 30:00
Eviva! - 38:35
Brilliant!!
Ileana Cotrubas одно из лучших исполнений Сюзанны и Nucci Condo просто лучшее исполнение Марселины в постановке 1973 года..
stunning!
Прекрасный состав артистов! Смотрим на одном дыхании! Браво всем- музыкантам, певцам, дирижеру и конечно Моцарту В.А. за прекрасную музыкальную историю!!
In addition to the extraordinary singing and acting, I love the filming. The TV photographer was extraordinary for 1973! Thank goodness, we have this document.

thanks
Ileana Cotrubas !!!
Merci pour cette vidéo !
Dame Kiri had ruined the role of Countess Almaviva for all sopranos before and after this performance. No one...absolutely NO ONE...even comes close...👏👏👏
How soon do we forget...I happened to be listening to my collection of Figaros the past week or two and right in front of me right now I have Giulini/Schwarzkopf, Kleiber/Della Casa, Jacobs/Gens, and Gardiner. All are superb it would be hard to say which is the best.
Es la major de todas las Bpdads no hay duda!!
Thanks for your precious collection... awesome
It's not a collection, it's a video.
Lovely clear precise singing. And I think this is one of the two best operas ever written.
The other is also by Mozart :-)
(Clue: pa-pa-pa-paaa...)
pageno! Two of my faves certainly - I even remember watching this production in black and white as a very young perseon and immediately falling in love with Kiri Te!
Yes, she's lovely. But personally... Rolando Villazón
th-cam.com/video/ntg9vXxAia8/w-d-xo.html
Sophie -Grace Right- "Don Giovanni" is the other. Pa pa pa .....Papa! Il Commendatore, right? xD
I kind of agree with the guy in Amadeus when he said Italian was the only proper language for opera.
I'm more of a Zauberfloete girl myself.
Sophie -Grace A masterpiece as well. I mean, queen of the night.... lol gotta love that. Probably his biggest "hit" insofar as it was performed so regularly when it opened. :)
my favorite, le nozze di figaro starring my favorite soprano and mezzo-soprano. love your Dove Sono and Porgi Amor, and flicka's Voi Che Sapete and Non so piu.... ! Thanks!
Ileana Cotrubas.....si Kiri te Kanawa....un regal.....mai mult decat un regal....LA MULTI ANI 2022
Ileana super!!!!! Kiri super!!!!!
Frederica super!!!!!
Genau so!
Grazie, thank you, спасибо!
Thank you so much for posting this. Mozart, Frederiaca, Kiri are my favorites!!!
Giuseppe Sarti. The greatest success, they say, was his opera "Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode" 1782. (dramma giocoso, Libretto Le nozze di Carlo Goldoni, Prima rappr. 14 settembre 1782, Teatro Teatro alla Scala di Milano) - Later I pretendenti delusi (1782, Venice); Le nozze di Dorina (1784, Naples); And pretenders delus (1784, London); Dorina contrastata( Paris). Of course Mozar followed all that - he inserted the of the aria "E viva i litiganti!" into the final banquet of his "Don Giovanni"; even in its variations (K. 460). And most importantly, for the history of music and ideas: the complicated finale of the first act of Sarti's opera also served as a model for the finale of the last act of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. Unfortunately, there is no Sarti opera on the Internet.
I can't express how much I love this production and the flawless performances, both musical and dramatic, by this incomparable cast (in particular the delightful Cotrubas and Te Kanawa at her most sublime) but there's one glaring fault that annoys me due to its internal incoherence: at the very end, the Countess should _not_ reappear wearing her own outfit; she should still be wearing Susanna's outfit. After all, the Count only realises that his shameless behaviour has been exposed and that he was in fact wooing the Countess _upon_ _seeing_ _her_ _in_ _Susanna's_ _outfit_ which means that she is fully aware of his attempted seduction of Susanna, thus causing his contrition and change of heart (whether this is believable or not, in such an inveterate philanderer, is another matter) (o; I can only imagine that Te Kanawa preferred to appear in the finer outfit for the dénouement and curtain calls, or perhaps the director wanted a more glamorous final appearance for his star soprano; either of these reasons is understandable but nonetheless this costume change does a disservice to this otherwise exquisite performance.
The Count is smarter that Don Giovanni...at least he outwardly showed contrition. Otherwise the earth might open up for him I suppose.
A non-wimpy Countess. I love it.
Die stärkste Zusammensetzung...Die größten Darsteller! !!!
If there are a million Ileana Cotrubas fans in the world, I am one of them.
It there are a thousand Ileana Cotrubas fans in the world, I am one of them.
If there is an only Ileana Cotrubas fan in the world, It will be me.
If there are no Ileana Cotrubas fans in the whole world, then It will be because I am dead.
Inmensa obra
54:20 J'ai regardé et écouté ce splendide opéra de Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart et je dois dire que c'est une pure merveille. La belle Frédérica von Stade chante à merveille. Elle irradie de sa présence et de sa voix.Tous les autres chanteurs sont parfait. Pour les amoureux de la grande musique et du chant lyrique.
Ileana Cotrubas is the best!
Preciosas
Mozart wasn't a composer. He "IS" a doctor. He healed me.
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa❤
Federica Von Stade is the ultimate Cherubino.
SEI MERAVIGLIOSA KIRI
Com sera , aquestes nits de Figaro de Mozart ho escoltarem , ara ❤❤

bravo bravo
10:17 beautiful phrases
pity they didn't do decorated reprises in those days
also has Thomas Lawlor from D"Oyly Carte Opera fame. He is in the Mikado film and Cox and Box
Just read that he passed away in around October 2020.
I hope to live long enough to see a better performance than this. I will be about 115 years old.
Why subtitles in Act One only?
Hits me right in the pants, every time.
