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 YouTube we can listen to your voice until we are no longer on this planet!!!
-
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 flawless production, with the most delightful and memorable performers.
-
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.

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.

This is genuinely the best Glyndebourne has ever done and definitely the best Marriage of Figaro, ever.
-
Perfect opera. Perfect cast. Perfect production. Perfect orchestra. Perfect conductor.
-
A gem. Love watching this opera. A timeless 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

Simply perfect. The Marriage of Figaro - perhaps the greatest piece of art ever written and created and performed to perfection. Thank you.
-
Wonderful production. I like Cotrubas' acting very much, she's a formidable actress!
-
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.
-
Thanks! Magic performance.
-
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.
-
Literally the most flawless production.
-
A first rate performance. Thanks!
-
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!
-
Vibrant cast and Bravo to the singer who portrays Antonio - a performance that is often quickly forgotten. That's not the case here.
-
One of the best performances ever . ♥
-
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.
