she caught that clumsy, embarrassed boyish movement perfectly. great acting and great singing. bravo!

She plays a much more convincing boy than most of the performers I've seen.

One of the most believable and sympathetic Cherubinos I've ever seen!

This is my favorite version of Voi Che Sapete, excellent Rinat! Amazing Cherubino.

Love her performance as Cherubino, and her version of this song is beautiful! 👏

Les très bonnes interprétations ne manquent pas. En voilà une qui est magnifique. Rinat Shaham est très impressionnante dans son jeu de rôle et de voix. Félicitations.

agree, the best Cherubino ever, love her voice, she should be back at the ROH, soon !

The most artistic performance I've seen so far. Love every single bit of it. Thank you.

a very lovely interpretation, lot's of emotion from a very strong voice.

LOVE it. And the ornamentation is tasteful and lovely -- awesomeness!

marvellous voice and perfomance, really amazing. I adore this version. Congratulations from Spain

I love her performance. Really good acting and singing!

My favorite production of Figaro. I can't wait to watch it again!

Voi che sapete Che cosa è amor Donne vedete S'io l'ho nel cor Quello ch'io provo Vi ridirò È per me nuovo Capir nol so Sento un affetto Pien di desir Ch'ora è diletto Ch'ora è martir Gelo, e poi sento L'alma avvampar E in un momento Torno a gelar Ricero un bene Fuori di me Non so ch'il tiene Non so cos'è Sospiro e gemo Senza voler Palpito e tremo Senza saper Non trovo pace Notte, nè dì Ma pur mi piace Languir così Vio che sapete Che cosa è amor Donne, vedete S'io l'ho nel cor

this is absolutely marvelous. what an artist!

Beautifully sung and acted, the best I've ever seen! Thank you so much for posting, I'm so glad to have heard and seen this!!!

What a remarkable performance!! Love it!!

Maravilhosa interpretação! Vejo um Cherubino verdadeiro! Brava!

Best interpretation on KZfaq, and what a magnificent voice!

Bravissimi!

everyone talking about rinat, but how about the actress who play the countess?? her range of expressions in this video are so good.

Would love to see her live some day.

Beautifully sung, beautifully acted. This scene has been so often washed of emotions, so static. Great performances but often stripped off feelings. Here it is different. Something is coooking. Can hear it and feel it in the air. BTW isn't this Dorothea Roschmann as Countess?

My favourite interpretation ❤

love this performance

Particularmente, me agradó el adorno del final, pues creo que añade más vida a ésta grandiosa obra. BRAVO !!

Bellísima voz, fabulosa interpretación de esta magnífica aria.

I love this opera and this is one of its many highights. Great performance. I have this performance on a Dvd

what an amazing Musician!

tremenda interpretacion, no puedo evitar llorar

Mozart wrote this for her!

Rinat Shaham is perhaps my favourite Carmen. Nearly went to see her play Carmen a few years ago, exchanged emails about the production via her site and she said she hoped that I would come to see her sing. Things come up to prevent me going, regret it now !! Lovely singer and nice lady. Rinat plays the role of ''Cherubino'' here, and does it very well. Lovely voice as usual.

IT was amazing😀👏👏

Одно из лучших исполнений на мой вкус.

Best version I have ever listened to

Лучшее исполнение!!!

Shaham is superb! We just heard her in Sydney singing Carmen. As we all clapped in unison, someone behind me said "wow... wow,,, wow " and that's how my husband and I felt exactly.

It was so nice seeing them use the set again in the Toronto production this year!

My fav Cherubino

Love it!

She fits the look perfectly

delightful...

Truly delightful.

I watched this production when it was on the telly, really enjoyed it xD

brilliant

Beautiful, thank you 🙏

The lady she's singing to is so cute! Me too, sis!!

Beautiful instincts

Adorable!

This just beautiful

My emotions!

Really really good

Stunning!

The little twist to the vocals is good. Great voice.

Beautiful!

come all ye faithful...

Mozart forever!

Precioso de las mejores

😊

It occurs that whoever sings this aria is the "best Cherubino ever"

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

A couple of days ago there was nozze of figaro opera at Boston Conservatory theater. It was awesome but i believe this artist is a better performer than the more beautiful one who played Cherubino!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I would like to see her sing Non so piu cosa son cosa faccio

Very nice! :)

Very natural interpretation, 9.9/10!

My favored Cherubino ever💥 Brava!

i am so thankful for the translation!!

@ToFSIMS While I agree the Maria Ewing performance is stellar in the voice and acting categories, Rinat Shahman plays Cherubino perfectly! She looks the part completely, and acts it very well, with wonderful expression in her voice. This performance is also a little more interesting to watch then the Maria Ewing. But, they are both amazing performances, and not easily compared.

this is so beautiful

I liked it

Brava! Che bella voce, io non sapea che cantaste sì bene.... :)bellissimo suono, grande tecnica

the best version

Where can i watch the full opera?

❤️💘

Absolutely delicious.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

De las mejores cherubinos en mi opinion.

Wonder Woman 84 got me here when Diana and Steve walking out the DC Metro lol

Hello, Does anyone here know what key is this song written as (on this version)??? Please i need help 🥺 I just started music class, and on vocal performance i need to sing this song, but i feel the key i was given waa way too high (too flutey sonding, almost like the voice at Mozards Queen of the Night) I love Voi che sapete in wathever key is this interpretation on!

와 진짜 최고다 목소리봐라 미치겠다 진짜 눈물이난다 와 ㅠㅠ

What did happen with the orchestra??

My favourite aria from this wonderful opera

Excellent, and next stops Von Stade in this role and Shaham a sexy Carmen

wonderful...splendid...awesome..amazing...i like it very much

Is the leftmost person actually playing something and the person next to it serving as a human music stand?

0:56

she's very cute.

How many viewers know that in the third play of the trilogy, no opera, we learn that Cherubino and Rosina had a love-child?

I would like to see this character played by a young countertenor. Perhabs in a bit lower tessitura

@egraceq .Thanks for the comment. I was basing my earlier comment solely on the voice quality and to a lesser extent on acting. But after all, it is only one video and it is difficult for me to determine how much the voice quality is enhanced by the recording vs. actual singer's voice quality. I agree that Rinat Shahman sang very well and acted the part perfectly, only thing I did like a bit less was the flourish at the end, which is a deviation from the score, I think.

미치겠다

Why embellish perfection though?

Please, tell me her name

I'm not sure whether she should take that as a compliment or an insult

Very delicate and sensitively dreamy aria. But explain to me the gender bending.

Great singing, but not the acting- She doesnt get the Cherubino vibe.

almost perfect. I didn't like the flourishes she added at the end.

Not as good as Maria Ewing, I think

She has bad diction, and, for my taste, her voice is too big.
