the marriage of figaro

ok,so...i listened to this work in its entirety after getting home early this morning....today was the day i took back time from working monday night...but i digress......from the mozart masterpiece.......i had an aha moment sometime in the beginning of the second act, when an aria was perfromed that i had heard before.....yeo...miss elizabeth bennett sings this piece during her visit to pemberly...the visit where she is with her aunt and uncle....the song is sung in the bbc version....mapbe in tape #5 out of 6.....lizzie sings in english, but the tune is unmistakable.....next listen-through of the opera i will have to use the included translation to figure out just what is happening in english.....having little understanding of the original italian.....such lovely music, though....in any language.......
