In addition to revealing a first-rate piece of music, "Todosentimento" contributes to our knowledge of one of the most heartfelt artistic relationships in the Italian-Brazilian language, De Vito-Buarque. The protagonist, the voice of heartfelt emotion, is a poet who aspires to love. How can a man devoted to sensitivity achieve total love? Is there a path that leads him to this goal (or halfway point)? What the song, image, and model offer is the discovery of the intimacy of the time of love as an aspect of reality; because the song is one of the last places where feelings can still maintain contact with the life of the other as a whole.

2013 revival of Andrei Serban's 1984 production. Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, September 2013. Andrei Serban's spectacular and thrilling 1984 production of Puccini's final and grandest opera has long been a classic at the Royal Opera House.

The young Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási directs the large orchestra and all-important chorus.

Adina and Nemorino declare their love for each other, Belcore is dumped, and the fraudulent Dulcamara does a landslide business in love potions. It's all a fast-moving bundle of fun, especially with the star-filled cast of this 2005 Vienna State Opera performance.
