Composed from October 1785 to April 1786, and described in the first librettos as a “commedia per musica”, The Marriage of Figaro was the initial result of the collaboration betweenWolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the remarkable italian writer and playwright Lorenzo Da Ponte. Their collaboration was to produce another two superb masterworks, Don Giovanni e Così fan tutte.
It was Mozart himself who proposed the subject. He was convinced that a musical version of a folle journée (“day of madness”) – this was the subtitle of Beaumarchais’s play Le mariage de Figaro (1781) on which the libretto was based – was exactly what he needed for his own dramaturgical genius. In fact the story met three criteria for the composer: the plot had fast dramatic rhythms; it was eventful and it lent itself to the musical exploration of the characters’ psychology.
