Marianne Crebassa is, without a doubt, one of the most adorable Cherubinos on the planet. Who could resist those puppy-dog eyes and fawn limbs and sweet personality? Unfortunately poor, sweet Cherubino is treated terribly by the men in this production (Amsterdam, 2016). Even Figaro is mean to him! Grr. However he is loved and cared for by the leading ladies (Christiane Karg as Susanna, featured here) and Eleonora Buratto (Contessa; not here but look for my other Crebassa Cherubino video!) which makes up for it, but it's still not a production that I can watch without skipping some parts because of how they treat poor Cherubino.
Anyway, enough of that. Please enjoy Crebassa's adorable, too-pure-for-this-world portrayal of one of my favorite characters in all of opera.
(Additionally, appreciate the decorations she adds in the aria, especially at the end. No one does that like her.)
