Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" was the first of his triad of now legendary master operas, all based on works by the Italian Lorenzo Da Ponte. At once a timeless love story, playful comedy and biting social satire, these descriptions alone cannot fully do justice to the masterful stylistic and sensual nuances embodied within Mozart's work. Above all, "Figaro" is a work of upheaval, a symbol of the individual's urge for recognition and rebellion against the establishment.
