ABOUT THE OPERAS

Both Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni sparked controversy and upset social order when they first premiered. Le Nozze di Figaro, based on Beaumarchais’ politically charged play, was banned for its “immorality” and “revolutionary tone” by Emperor Joseph II. However, thanks to the wit of librettist Lorenzo da Ponte and Mozart’s stirring compositions, the emperor was eventually swayed, lifting the ban and allowing Mozart’s music to take center stage.
