 And so ends the first act. Once again, this is a 1982 recording where you are hearing as the Count Almaviva Thomas Allen, as the Countess Kiri Tekanawa, as Susanna Lucia Popp, as Figaro Samuel Ramey, and as Cherubino Frederica Von Stade. You're also hearing the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Georg Schulte. Let's get now into the first act.
