Fidelio - Ha! Welch ein Augenblick.

[Papageno]

Anyone got this on sheet?  I want to learn to sing it.

[Symphonien]

Here is a short score of the full opera. On the left, you can click on the link "No. 7: Aria with Chorus Ha! welch' ein Augenblick!" to jump directly to that aria.

[Cato]

From the essay by Krehbiel on Fidelio at the opening of this short score:

"The period was one marked by a careless gayety and an intellectual frivolity of which the Vienna of to-day knows nothing."

How true: when was the last time you saw a good intellectual frolic in Vienna?

You have to come here to the GMG for that!
