In his book, The Classical Style, Charles Rosen describes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s operas as ‘among the greatest in the genre’. His skill at capturing the nuances of his characters’ personalities and moods is particularly prominent in Le nozze di Figaro (1786), a three-hour-long opera buffa (comedic opera) in four acts. From the famous overture onwards, this fast-paced and exciting score immerses the audience in the hectic events of one crazy day in the lives of these characters.
