A triumph

When Mozart proposed to librettist Da Ponte in 1786 that they adapt Beaumarchais ‘The Marriage of Figaro, the piece had already been the subject of much controversy in France and in Austria. The libretto was created in secret and completed in just six weeks, and, thanks to the influence of Da Ponte, it received the emperor’s endorsement despite Beaumarchais’ satirical attacks on the feudal society of the time.

“At the end of the opera, I thought that the spectators would not stop applauding and calling for Mozart. All the numbers were encored, which made the performance last almost as long as two operas. Never was there more complete triumph than of Mozart and his Nozze di Figaro.” The same can be said to this day.”
