With »The Marriage of Figaro«, Mozart opened his triad of legendary master operas, all of which the composer was to write on librettos by the Italian Lorenzo Da Ponte. The piece presents a timeless love story, a playful comedy, a biting social satire - and yet all these descriptions fall short if they want to do justice to the panopticon of stylistic and sensual experiences that Mozart unleashes in his music. Because »Figaro« is one thing above all: a work of upheaval, a piece of the stormy urge for personal recognition and thus at the same time a timeless symbol of the rebellion of the individual against the establishment.
