Opera buffa in quattro atti, KV 492
libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte

worldpremiere 1 May 1786
National-Hoftheater, Viena

Le nozze di Figaro is both an intrigue and a social tableau (which are, of course, interlocking genres). The opera is based on the stage play by Beaumarchais, translated, shortened and set to verse by Lorenzo da Ponte. All the characters are woven into a network of dependence and obligation that robs them of all spontaneous freedom of movement. People who at one moment are locked in conflict can, in the next instant, fall into a adoring embrace. Their social survival depends on their talent for strategic manoeuvring. The imminent wedding of the manservant Figaro and the chambermaid Susanna exposes the chasms lying just under the smooth surface of social conventions. All this is set to sparkling and erotic music that clearly exudes the spirit of the Enlightenment.

@tazionuvoletta

You are right. This is a clip from the same production in 2006, with a partly different cast. I will mention this in the video.

The two girls in the video are not Marie Arnet and Marina Comparato, they are Danielle De Niese and Maite Beaumont!
