The Marriage of Figaro (Le mariage de Figaro) subtitled The Craziest Day is the second in the Figaro trilogy of plays by Beaumarchais and follows the action of The Barber of Seville.  The plays were considered scandalous at the time due to its depiction of nobleman being outwitted by a quick-witted servant.  The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro were high examples of Eighteenth century light comedy but now are almost exclusively remembered by the respective operas of Rossini and Mozart. Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is noted for its richness of musical invention and subtle characterization. Classified as an Opera Buffa, Mozart's 4 act opera is consistently ranked as one of the most beloved and most performed operas in today's standard repertoire. Full orchestra, English super-titles.
