this segment includes: Overture, duet "Cinque....dieci.....venti....trenta....", all the recitatives, and duet "Se a caso Madama". audio from old cassette tape of a live Met broadcast (January 29, 1944) with pictures of Bruno Walter, Ezio Pinza and Bidú Sayão. Dr. Walter was famously unsympathetic toward "Figaro" and it shows some here. Too frivolous for him, I imagine. This is also not Bidú Sayão's best role (see the video of the Hahn song by her I uploaded today!) but Ezio Pinza is in very fine form. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) "Le Nozze di Figaro" or "The Marriage of Figaro"
