I have to agree, I think the tempi here are too slow and make the song rather heavyhanded. The directorial interpretation too, I think, is hideous. 'My wardrobe is expensive as the devil' - I don't think so! And what's with all that dreadful champagne flute schtick (with empty bottle and plastic liquid)! Atrocious. Breckenridge is a fabulous singer and actress (saw her as Cunegonde in Candide at the ENO, London recently.) Sadly she was lumbered with overly indulgent staging there too.

Honestly, every conductor is gonna have this song going at different tempos. Every conductor's taste is different. I think this tempo is really interesting I would like to know why he chose this speed. The lady that's playing Cunegonde, I think, isn't fit for this role. I really do like her voice, but I feel like her acting is very bland.

This is FANTASTIC!!!! What a great singer -- after hearing "Glitter and Be Gay"so many times sung dreadfully, she manages to do this difficult aria with such ease and presence. Brava!!!!

I don't know what you are talking about. This tempo is well within the realm of common performance tempo. It is NOT way too slow.

Yes. This is the original key. This aria has great highs AND lows. Excellent job Marnie!

It's definitely a different experience in the theater. Her performance was electrifying and truly unforgettable.

the notes and technique are both solid, its way too slow, however.

What do I mean who are you? I don't understand what's so difficult about this question. Who are you? I said there are not exact tempo markings for allegro molto. The tempo taken here is approximately 120. I'm sorry if it upsets you, but a 12-point variation in tempo is not that great. There is much more to a musical performance than exact tempo markings.

Who are you to tell me about tempi in this piece? I have played in the pit for this show twice. And believe it or not, there are not exact tempo markings for allegro molto. So bottom line, you aren't as knowledgeable as you think.

I didn't mark your comment with a thumbs down. Were you in this production? How do you know the reason behind the tempo?

P.S. The tempo for this song was generally faster (and more effective) in London, so I'd say the conductor here just has poor taste.
