I agree with the comment below that this opera has some of his best music, including somewhat better than Barbiere. Plus, all his brilliance is more compact and therefore far more visible than in Barbiere. Et plus, je pense il est plus brilliant - the bel canto aspect. The bass is incredible, and Flores was more than meant to sing bel canto.
Le Comte Ory is one of Rossini's best Operas, in my opinion even better than some of his most popular ones. It's true it recycles a lot of music composed for Il Viaggio a Reims, but it fits perfectly here and the new material elevates it over its predecessor.
Defintely agree, Rossini at his best and pure theatre. But nowadays it's completely overshadowed by Il viaggio a Reims (still a masterwork - we are still speaking of Rossini), which is staged far more often.
it was Rossinis intention to recycle his music of Il Viaggio a Reims, because this opera was made specially for the coronation of King Charles X of France. He even forbade publishing the score.The score of Il Viaggio a Reims was not found until the 70s in some European libraries, and the opera was performed entirely with Spanish soprano Monserrat Cabelle.
An amazing cast,. I love watching Juan Diego Florez,. He is so funny.
Never cease to entertain. Juan Diego can not only sing . He can act.

This is my umpteenth time watching it. Enjoyed every minute of it.
A truly excellent cast!
Замечательно. Граф Ори - Хуан Диего Флорес, графиня Адель де Формутье - Диана Дамрау, паж Изольер - Джойс Дидонато, дирижёр - Маурицио Бенини, Метрополитен опера 2011 год. Певцы чудесные. Диана Дамрау великолепна!
Lo de Juan Diego no me sorprende lo extraordinario cantante y buen actor que es pero quien me sorprendió gratamente fue Diana Damrau wow 😍
