		Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
		Figaro, the servant of the Count, and Susanna, the maid of the Countess, are measuring the room they have received from the Count to use as their bedroom.
		Figaro tells them to hide until he gives the signal and then Figaro moves to another part of the garden, still defending the jealousy of men and determining not to trust women.

	The Marriage of Figaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of Figaro's Act One finale aria, Non piú andrai, is used as the regimental slow march of the Coldstream Guards of the British Army and is quoted in the second act of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni.
		Figaro then arrives and hatches a plan to trick the Count: Susanna will give him a note indicating she wants to meet him that night in the garden; Cherubino will be waiting there, dressed as a woman; and the Countess will arrive and catch him red-handed.
		Figaro sees the note with the pin in it, assumes it is from another of the Count's trysts, and laughs to himself.

	Le Nozze Di Figaro
		Figaro is taking the dimensions of a room, and the first motive of a duet illustrates his measured paces; Susanna is trimming a hat, and her happiness and her complacent satisfaction with her handiwork are published in the second motive, whose innocent joy explodes in scintillant semi-quavers in the fiddles at the third measure.
		Figaro had pressed such a flattering unction to his soul, but now recalls, with not a little jealous perturbation, that the Count had planned to take him with him to London, where he was to go on a mission of state : "He as ambassador, Figaro as a courier, and Susanna as ambassadress in secret.
		Figaro, in his hiding place, listening and suspecting her of awaiting the Count's arrival, throws a cross-light on the situation, which, however, only receives its full dramatic signification by reason of the truth of Susanna's expression of feeling.

	Synopsis of Le Nozze di Figaro - the Metropolitan Opera
		Figaro returns with fellow servants, who praise the Count's progressive reform in abolishing the droit du seigneur â” the right of a noble to take a manservant's place on his wedding night.
		Figaro, who has run in to announce that the wedding is ready, pretends it was he who jumped from the window, faking a sprained ankle.
		Later, during the marriage ceremony of Figaro and Susanna, the bride manages to slip the note, sealed with a hatpin, to the Count, who pricks his finger, dropping the pin, which Figaro retrieves.

		Le nozze di Figaro is a "number opera" and EMI has shorter tracks which make it much easier to skip the recititive if you wish to.
		Le NOZZE di FIGASRO is one of the most popular operas as well as one of the most recorded works in the classical repertoire.
		Figaro is one of the operas that "we always remember our first love." Fans of other interpretations of Mozart may find earlier recordings superior, and since I enjoy them I will not argue the point, but this is certainly a great recording and brings this magnificent opera to life in a magical way.

	Los Angeles'Opera's Le Nozze di Figaro
		Mozart's version of "Upstairs, Downstairs," Le Nozze di Figaro has got to be the most enjoyable musical articulation of the human foibles expressed, in Mozart's time and ours, as sexual indiscretions.
		Figaro is of course the same Figaro, the erstwhile "Barber of Seville," who connived with a younger Count Almaviva in his efforts to win Rosina from her guardian Dr. Bartolo.
		Note: The Overture in the background is from the Grammy Award-winning recording of Le nozze di Figaro from the Harmonia Mundi Mozart Limited Edition, with René Jacobs conducting the Concerto Köln playing on period instruments.

		The give-and-take in the recitatives is timed brilliantly to real speech patterns, the singers whisper conspiratorily when needed (the asides sound like real asides--a very difficult effect to create on disc), and the ensembles have a true sense of spontaneity.
		Le nozze di Figaro was premiered at the Imperial and Royal Court Theatre on 1 May 1786, the first of Mozart's operas to be written without a commission and a new chapter in operatic history.
		René Jacobs' historic performances of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in October 2001 led to rave reviews in the French press and a revival there in June; to be followed by a concert performance at the Barbican on June 29th 2004.

	Le nozze di Figaro @ Royal Opera House, London: opera review
		Figaro and Susanna's bedroom then moves smoothly onto the stage, and is again full of detail: the bed drops down from the wall, shelves lie empty, waiting for the newlyweds to move in together.
		The Countess' bedroom is similarly evocative, whilst the final set revolves from the interior to the exterior of a veranda; trees and falling leaves make the backdrop for the reversal of characters between Susanna and the Countess in the final scene when the Count is duped into submission.
		Erwin Schrott was a superb Figaro, a real lyric baritone with a feel for the humour and the heart of this character.

		In my search for a perfect Nozze di Figaro--not one that was flawless, but one that suited my taste best--I listened with a merciless ear to several choices.
		Hermann Prey just might be the best Figaro on record, but as glorious as Dietrich Fischer-Diskau sounds, he seems too dark and angry, and if the Count is that nasty, the critical "Contessa, perdono" section is far less convincing.
		He is a delightful Figaro, true not only to Mozart and da Ponte's view, but to Beaumarchais', who stated that Figaro must be played with only intelligence and high spirits.

	Le nozze di Figaro - Lorenzo da Ponte - Microsoft Reader eBook - Italian
		Figaro, servitore del Conte d'Almaviva, sta per sposare Susanna, ma è contrastato da Don Bartolo che non gli ha mai perdonato di avere aiutato la figlia Rosina a sposare il Conte, e che gli presenta un documento in cui Figaro si sarebbe impegnato a sposare Marcellina.
		A questa vicenda si affianca quella del Conte, geloso della moglie Rosina (di cui è invaghito il paggio Cherubino), ma nello stesso tempo, attratto dalle grazie di Susanna.
		Tratto dalla commedia di Beaumarchais, il libretto è animato da un'incontenibile gioia, che ridicolizza i giochi di potere e, insieme, fa emergere allo stato puro desideri e fragilità della natura umana.

		Le nozze di Figaro (1786) was Mozart's first mature opera buffa.
		Unlike Don Giovanni (1787) and Così fan tutte (1790), Figaro has few obvious problems, and even if it is not without flaws, it nevertheless contains a remarkable mixture of all those elements that go to produce a good opera: a sound plot, a well-structured text and fine music.
		This opera handbook examines the work from historical and musical perspectives, to set it in the context of Mozart's age.
