Summary
Mozart’s profound comedy Le Nozze di Figaro has it all and more. Focusing on a single chaotic day in Count Almaviva’s Sevillian manor, the work is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the opera buffa genre and an audience favorite for its instantly recognizable melodies, virtuosic ensemble writing, motley cast of characters, and biting social critique. Mozart’s opera continues to entertain audiences nearly 250 years after its premiere, thanks to its timelessly thorough exploration of pure human emotion—pain, deception, love and infatuation, vengeance, forgiveness, and remorse.
