This was the 1990 performance at Covent Garden, on New Years Eve, where Joan Sutherland made her last public appearance in the party scene - in fact she, Pavarotti and Marilyn Horne almost hi-jacked the opera. ;-)
Alas no subtitles. They would have helped, even though the singing was in English. An odd one - with a lot of talking , which did help to understand the story - which basically involves a lot of flirting and deception and confusion of identities all round.

I was there (holding up part of a long banner!) and it was an unforgettable evening.
Excellent! We have been to a couple of performances of live opera recently in Leeds and Northampton, and long years ago I saw La Boheme at la Scala! But most of what we see is on TV - some amazing singing, and performances.
