Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
World premiere: 1 May 1786, Burgtheater, Vienna
Le nozze di Figaro ossia la folle giornata (Trans: The
Marriage [lit. Wedding] of Figaro or the Day of Madness), is an opera buffa
(comic opera) composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with libretto by
Lorenzo da Ponte, based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, Le mariage de
Figaro (1784). Although the play by Beaumarchais was at first banned in Vienna
because of its satirization of the aristocracy, the opera became one of Mozart’s
most successful works. It is now regarded as a cornerstone of the standard
operatic repertoire, and Opera America claims it to be the sixth most performed
opera in North America. The overture is especially famous and is often played as
a concert piece.
