I'm so glad I saw this, as I'd no idea that this was on YouTube. I have seen the production a couple of times before, but the idea of a male Cherubino really intrigued me when I saw the casting previously, though I wasn't entirely sure I was keen on the idea. he really did play it as a countertenor playing a mezzo playing a teenage boy dressing up (dreadfully) as a girl is certainly very encouraging, so I shall have to watch and see what I think. Pity about the ensemble not being the best, though, I feel that's one of the pleasures of Figaro.
