[For the performances of November 3, 7, and 11, Bartoli sang different arias from the ones usually assigned to Susanna. For the Vienna revival of Le Nozze di Figaro in 1789, Mozart wrote two new arias for Adriana Ferrarese del Bene. The arietta "Un moto di gioia" took the place of the original Act II aria "Venite inginocchiatevi" and "Al desio" replaced "Deh vieni non tardar" in Act IV.
The performances of 11/03/98, 11/7/98 and 11/11/98 were taped.]
