Approvato

The Marriage of Figaro is one of the most performed operas of the canon. Its breezy plot and broad ensemble comedy make it an easy entry point for operagoers as well as a beloved place to return for seasoned fans. Given its reputation as a light comedy, it may be surprising that this subject material was greeted as trenchant class commentary when it premiered.

Cloaked in a comedy of errors – complete with multiple cases of mistaken identity, long-lost relatives, and cross-dressing hijinks – the source material skewered the ruling class, portraying them as fallible, foolish, and weak-minded. The play upon which this opera is based was written by French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais and was banned for some years for its themes of class tension.
