I'm glad so many of you love this. I can tell you from personal knowledge, this is Earle Patriarco singing, and he was VERY young to be singing this aria at the time. He was in his late teens or early twenties. He said they used the take where he was completely worn out and tired, which tells you just how talented he is. He's the best.
Yes.. he was very young.... I think 19.. we worked together at Miceli's in N. Hwd Know him and adore him.. I sang at his wedding reception.. Again, really care about him and haven't seen him since he went to the Met.
People always eyeroll at me when I tell them this movie is a comedy with Sylvester Stallone in it, but I have to force them to watch it for them to start rolling in laughter XD
The movie was a flop and Stalone concluded he would never do comedy again because of it. Having said that, I LOVE THE MOVIE. I thought it was so well done and very funny. It was one of my dad's favourite movies before he passed and always has a special place in my heart because of that.
So, odd story. I saw this intro as a child. And for the longest time, I did NOT know where it was from.... Knowing little kid me. I probably only watched this intro, then went back to.... Whatever toddlers do.... I FINALLY decided to try and find this, just because the memory was bugging me. And... it feels so cathartic to finally find it. Thanks for uploading this.
Man, really, really thanks for this upload!! I love this song and the movie is great. Years ago I tried to find this movie just because of this opening! But it's really difficult to find old movies here in Brasília. And now I've found it here. Thnks bro!
Given the context of the film there is real irony in the use of this particular classical piece. Such as how there are a couple of lines in this area that talk about how the Barber of Seville (Figaro) is being called left, right and center by so many people. Old men, young men, women, children and soon. Basically everybody wants a piece of him. Just like what happens in the movie Oscar, the day "Snaps" Provolone (Sylvester Stallone) goes straight, EVERYBODY wants a piece of him. Thus the reason why this one section in the aria is so palpable: Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, ecc. Ahimè, che furia! (Ah what a frenzy) Ahimè, che folla! (Ah, what a crowd) Uno alla volta, per carità! (one at a time, please) Ehi, Figaro! Son qua. (Hey Figaro! I'm here) Figaro qua, Figaro là, (Figaro here. Figaro There) Figaro su, Figaro giù. (Figaro up. Figaro down)
Let me explain: Mozart made the opera "la nozze di Figaro" (the wedding of Figaro). It's different from this song here. This is "Largo al Factotum" from the opera "il barbieri di Siviglia" (the Barber of Seville), composed by Rossini. 'Figaro' is the name of the barber. Lardawan is right, but he's not polite.
@Braziliense1984 Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais's The Marriage of Figaro was very popular at the time: between 1782 and 1816, there were at least four adaptations, including versions by Paisiello, also from Naples, and Mozart. Rossini also adapted it, in 13 days
No. Actually Mozart wrote "La Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro). That's a completely different work from The Barber of Seville (here, Figaro is the name of the barber)
WOW! I use to record this opening alone on VHS when some channel showed this movie on tv. I think I recorded back sometime in the 90s. It didn't record the whole thing unfortunately est gdfgf.
oops ignore those last words.I think I also remember playing Mario Party 2 game around the time I watched this opening.Those were some good times indeed!

It is a great family favorite.

SAME!!! Lol
Underrated CLASSIC!
This is one of my favorites. Tell them it's a comedy with Marisa Tomei and Tim Curry. Stallone is the straight man in a world of crazy.
I saw this movie one night in TV while I was sick and I never saw what it was called but I loved it. Now I can watch it again. THANK YOU INTERNET!

BRAVO!! BRAVISSIMO!! MAESTRO!!
This is by far the best Largo Al Factotum version ever!!
Great claynimation job, too!!
this is one of my favorite movies from the 90's, for it brings back good memories of when I was young.
such great music. this is the best version i have ever heard of this opera.
Awesome song and movie!!
love love love oscar. one of my top 10 favorite comedies.
This movie is very good and even the music fits in with it.
Just watch the movie 2day. Gosh it sure brings back memories. Loved it when it came out, love the acting and comedy.
Man, really, really thanks for this upload!! I love this song and the movie is great. Years ago I tried to find this movie just because of this opening! But it's really difficult to find old movies here in Brasília. And now I've found it here.
Thnks bro!
one of the few opera type music that I actually enjoy. I usually listen to rock, hip hop, and metal
Didn't grow up on Looney Tunes, did you?
So cool on the best movie EVER!
i agree, this is head n shoulders above any! rendition.
earle patriarco, u da MAING!

No. Actually Mozart wrote "La Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro). That's a completely different work from The Barber of Seville (here, Figaro is the name of the barber)
I agree, I think it's much better than the french version (with Louis de Funes). And I'm a native french speaker...
Good upload indeed
