Susanna's aria is taken from the opera buffa (comic opera) Marriage of Figaro, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1786. It is said that Luciano Pavarotti's stardom is reckoned from a performance of 'Pour mon âme', so it is only fitting to tribute his performance here: It features nine high Cs and features early in the opera, giving the performer less time to warm up their voice. This opera is famous for the aria ' Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête!' (sometimes referred to as ' Pour mon âme') as it has been considered the "Mount Everest" for tenors. La fille du régiment(The Daughter of the Regiment) is an opéra comique in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti written in 1840.
