The Marriage of Figaro (Italian: Le nozze di Figaro), is an opera buffa (comic opera) in four acts composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with an Italian libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (1784).

I chose this comic play by one of my favorite composers from the Classical era.
