The Marriage of Figaro
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The opera The Marriage of Figaro, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, was performed exactly nine times in Vienna during 1786.1
Although the work was an initial success, its run in Vienna was limited, potentially due to the arrival of Vicente Martín y Soler’s Una cosa rara, which effectively displaced the Mozart production.1
