Description:
LE NOZZE DI FIGARO (THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO) is based on LA FOLLE JOURNEE OU LE MARIAGE DE FIGARO (1784), a comic play by Pierre Beaumarchais. Lorenzo Da Ponte, who also collaborated with Mozart on DON GIOVANNI and COSÍ FAN TUTTE, wrote the libretto, which tells the story of the servant Figaro, and his lover, Susanna, who overcome their employer's schemes to seduce her and secure their own marital bliss. LE NOZZE DI FIGARO premiered May 1, 1786 at the Burgtheater in Vienna. It has become immensely popular and is among the most frequently performed of all operas. NON PIÙ ANDRAI (YOU SHALL GO NO MORE) is sung by Figaro at the end of the first act. Figaro teases Cherubino, who is being sent away to the military, in contrast to the flirtatious life he has in the Count's palace.
