​Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed the opera the Marriage of Figaro, in four acts, in 1786, with the libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. It premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on May 1, 1786. The opera is based on the 1784 stage comedy by Oierre Beaumarchais “The Mad Day, the Marriage of Figaro.” It tells how the servants Figaro and Susanna succeed in getting married, foiling the efforts of their philandering employer Count Almaviva to seduce Susanna and teaching him a lesson in fidelity. The opera appears consistently among the top ten most frequently performed operas in the Operabase list. In the BBC News Magazine in 2017, The Marriage of Figaro came in first out of the 20 operas featured, as the most popular work among music critics.
