Susanna's aria from "Le Nozze di Figaro," Act 4
Giunse alfin il momento
Che godro senz'affanno
In braccio all'idol mio
Timide cure uscite dal mio petto!
A turbar non venite il mio diletto.
O come par che all'amoroso foco
L'amenita del loco,
La terra e il ciel risponda.
Come la notte i furti miei risponda
Deh vieni, non tardar, o gioja bella
Vieni ove amore per goder t'appella
Finche non splende in ciel notturna face
Finche l'aria e ancor bruna,
E il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l'aura
Che col dolce susurro il cor ristaura
Qui ridono i fioretti e l'erba e fresca
Ai piaceri d'amor qui tutto adesca.
Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose.
Vieni, vieni!
Ti vo' la fronte incoronar di rose.
英語歌詞
The moment finally arrives
When I'll enjoy [experience joy] without haste
In the arms of my beloved...
Fearful anxieties, get out of my heart!
Do not come to disturb my delight.
Oh, how it seems that to amorous fires
The comfort of the place,
Earth and heaven respond,
[Oh, it seems that earth, heaven and this place
answerer my heart's amorous fire.]
As the night responds to my ruses.
Oh, come, don't be late, my beautiful joy
Come where love calls you to enjoyment
Until night's torches no longer shine in the sky
As long as the air is still dark
And the world quiet.
Here the river murmurs and the light plays
That restores the heart with sweet ripples
Here, little flowers laugh and the grass is fresh
Here, everything entices one to love's pleasures
Come, my dear, among these hidden plants.
Come, come!
I want to crown you with roses.
「費加羅的婚禮 Le nozze di Figaro」是莫扎特30歲的作品,1786年5月1日在維也納首演。僕人Figaro和Susanna順利結婚的過程,不僅挫敗了主人伯爵Almaviva的「好色放蕩「,也教訓了他不忠貞的人品。
The Marriage of Figaro (Italian: Le nozze di Figaro, pronounced [le ˈnɔttse di ˈfiːɡaro] ), K. 492, 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. It premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 1 May 1786. The opera's libretto is based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro ("The Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro"), which was first performed in 1784. 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 is a cornerstone of the repertoire and appears consistently among the top ten in the Operabase list of most frequently performed operas.
Beaumarchais's earlier play The Barber of Seville had already made a successful transition to opera in a version by Paisiello. Beaumarchais's Mariage de Figaro was at first banned in Vienna; Emperor Joseph II stated that "since the piece contains much that is objectionable, I therefore expect that the Censor shall either reject it altogether, or at any rate have such alterations made in it that he shall be responsible for the performance of this play and for the impression it may make", after which the Austrian Censor duly forbade performing the German version of the play. Mozart's librettist managed to get official approval from the emperor for an operatic version which eventually achieved great success.
The opera was the first of three collaborations between Mozart and Da Ponte; their later collaborations were Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. It was Mozart who originally selected Beaumarchais's play and brought it to Da Ponte, who turned it into a libretto in six weeks, rewriting it in poetic Italian and removing all of the original's political references. In particular, Da Ponte replaced Figaro's climactic speech against inherited nobility with an equally angry aria against unfaithful wives.The libretto was approved by the Emperor before any music was written by Mozart.
The Imperial Italian opera company paid Mozart 450 florins for the work; this was three times his (low) yearly salary when he had worked as a court musician in Salzburg.Da Ponte was paid 200 florins.
The Marriage of Figaro continues the plot of The Barber of Seville several years later, and recounts a single "day of madness" (la folle journée) in the palace of Count Almaviva near Seville, Spain. Rosina is now the Countess; Dr. Bartolo is seeking revenge against Figaro for thwarting his plans to marry Rosina himself; and Count Almaviva has degenerated from the romantic youth of Barber into a scheming, bullying, skirt-chasing baritone. Having gratefully given Figaro a job as head of his servant-staff, he is now persistently trying to exercise his droit du seigneur – his right to bed a servant girl on her wedding night – with Figaro's bride-to-be, Susanna, who is the Countess's maid. He keeps finding excuses to delay the civil part of the wedding of his two servants, which is arranged for this very day. Figaro, Susanna, and the Countess conspire to embarrass the Count and expose his scheming. He retaliates by trying to compel Figaro legally to marry a woman old enough to be his mother, but it turns out at the last minute that she really is his mother. Through Figaro's and Susanna's clever manipulations, the Count's love for his Countess is finally restored.
OvertureThe overture is in the key of D major; the tempo marking is presto; i.e. very fast. The work is well known and often played independently as a concert piece.
Act 1A partly furnished room, with a chair in the centre.
Figaro happily measures the space where the bridal bed will fit while Susanna tries on her wedding bonnet in front of a mirror (in the present day, a more traditional French floral wreath or a modern veil are often substituted, often in combination with a bonnet, so as to accommodate what Susanna happily describes as her wedding cappellino). (Duet: "Cinque, dieci, venti" – "Five, ten, twenty"). Figaro is quite pleased with their new room; Susanna far less so (Duettino: "Se a caso madama la notte ti chiama" – "If the Countess should call you during the night"). She is bothered by its proximity to the Count's chambers: it seems he has been making advances toward her and plans on exercising his 初夜權droit du seigneur, the purported feudal right of a lord to bed a servant girl on her wedding night before her husband can sleep with her. The Count had the right abolished when he married Rosina, but he now wants to reinstate it. The Countess rings for Susanna and she rushes off to answer. Figaro, confident in his own resourcefulness, resolves to outwit the Count (Cavatina: "Se vuol ballare signor contino" – "If you want to dance, sir count").
醫生Bartolo正想報復Figaro曾撮合過伯爵和Rosina的愛情(塞爾維亞理髮師,「塞維亞的理髮師」序曲Il Barbiere Di Siviglia: Overture (Sinfonia)有完整歌劇視頻)。
Figaro departs, and Dr. Bartolo arrives with Marcellina, his old housekeeper. Figaro had previously borrowed a large sum of money from her, and, in lieu of collateral, had promised to marry her if unable to repay at the appointed time; she now intends to enforce that promise by suing him. Bartolo, seeking revenge against Figaro for having facilitated the union of the Count and Rosina (in The Barber of Seville), agrees to represent Marcellina pro bono, and assures her, in comical lawyer-speak, that he can win the case for her (aria: "La vendetta" – "Vengeance").
Bartolo departs, Susanna returns, and Marcellina and Susanna exchange very politely delivered sarcastic insults (duet: "Via resti servita, madama brillante" – "After you, brilliant madam"). Susanna triumphs in the exchange by congratulating her rival on her impressive age. The older woman departs in a fury.
Cherubino then arrives and, after describing his emerging infatuation with all women, particularly with his "beautiful godmother" the Countess (aria: "Non so più cosa son" – "I don't know anymore what I am"), asks for Susanna's aid with the Count. It seems the Count is angry with Cherubino's amorous ways, having discovered him with the gardener's daughter, Barbarina, and plans to punish him. Cherubino wants Susanna to ask the Countess to intercede on his behalf. When the Count appears, Cherubino hides behind a chair, not wanting to be seen alone with Susanna. The Count uses the opportunity of finding Susanna alone to step up his demands for favours from her, including financial inducements to sell herself to him. As Basilio, the music teacher, arrives, the Count, not wanting to be caught alone with Susanna, hides behind the chair. Cherubino leaves that hiding place just in time, and jumps onto the chair while Susanna scrambles to cover him with a dress.
When Basilio starts to gossip about Cherubino's obvious attraction to the Countess, the Count angrily leaps from his hiding place (terzetto: "Cosa sento!" – "What do I hear!"). He disparages the "absent" page's incessant flirting and describes how he caught him with Barbarina under the kitchen table. As he lifts the dress from the chair to illustrate how he lifted the tablecloth to expose Cherubino, he finds ... the self same Cherubino! The count is furious, but is reminded that the page overheard the Count's advances on Susanna, something that the Count wants to keep from the Countess. The young man is ultimately saved from punishment by the entrance of the peasants of the Count's estate, a preemptive attempt by Figaro to commit the Count to a formal gesture symbolizing his promise that Susanna would enter into the marriage unsullied. The Count evades Figaro's plan by postponing the gesture. The Count says that he forgives Cherubino, but he dispatches him to his own regiment in Seville for army duty, effective immediately. Figaro gives Cherubino mocking advice about his new, harsh, military life from which all luxury, and especially women, will be totally excluded (aria: "Non più andrai" – "No more gallivanting").
Act 2A handsome room with an alcove, a dressing room on the left, a door in the background (leading to the servants' quarters) and a window at the side.
The Countess laments her husband's infidelity (aria: "Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro" – "Grant, love, some comfort"). Susanna comes in to prepare the Countess for the day. She responds to the Countess's questions by telling her that the Count is not trying to seduce her; he is merely offering her a monetary contract in return for her affection. Figaro enters and explains his plan to distract the Count with anonymous letters warning him of adulterers. He has already sent one to the Count (via Basilio) that indicates that the Countess has a rendezvous of her own that evening. They hope that the Count will be too busy looking for imaginary adulterers to interfere with Figaro and Susanna's wedding. Figaro additionally advises the Countess to keep Cherubino around. She should dress him up as a girl and lure the Count into an illicit rendezvous where he can be caught red-handed. Figaro leaves.
Cherubino arrives, sent in by Figaro and eager to co-operate. Susanna urges him to sing the song he wrote for the Countess (aria: "Voi che sapete che cosa è amor" – "You ladies who know what love is, is it what I'm suffering from?"). After the song, the Countess, seeing Cherubino's military commission, notices that the Count was in such a hurry that he forgot to seal it with his signet ring (which would be necessary to make it an official document).
Susanna and the Countess then begin with their plan. Susanna takes off Cherubino's cloak, and she begins to comb his hair and teach him to behave and walk like a woman (aria of Susanna: "Venite, inginocchiatevi" – "Come, kneel down before me"). Then she leaves the room through a door at the back to get the dress for Cherubino, taking his cloak with her.
While the Countess and Cherubino are waiting for Susanna to come back, they suddenly hear the Count arriving. Cherubino hides in the closet. The Count demands to be allowed into the room and the Countess reluctantly unlocks the door. The Count enters and hears a noise from the closet. He tries to open it, but it is locked. The Countess tells him it is only Susanna, trying on her wedding dress. At this moment, Susanna re-enters unobserved, quickly realizes what's going on, and hides behind a couch (Trio: "Susanna, or via, sortite" – "Susanna, come out!"). The Count shouts for her to identify herself by her voice, but the Countess orders her to be silent. Furious and suspicious, the Count leaves, with the Countess, in search of tools to force the closet door open. As they leave, he locks all the bedroom doors to prevent the intruder from escaping. Cherubino and Susanna emerge from their hiding places, and Cherubino escapes by jumping through the window into the garden. Susanna then takes Cherubino's former place in the closet, vowing to make the Count look foolish (duet: "Aprite, presto, aprite" – "Open the door, quickly!").
The Count and Countess return. The Countess, thinking herself trapped, desperately admits that Cherubino is hidden in the closet. The enraged Count draws his sword, promising to kill Cherubino on the spot, but when the door is opened, they both find to their astonishment only Susanna (Finale: "Esci omai, garzon malnato" – "Come out of there, you ill-born boy!"). The Count demands an explanation; the Countess tells him it is a practical joke, to test his trust in her. Shamed by his jealousy, the Count begs for forgiveness. When the Count presses about the anonymous letter, Susanna and the Countess reveal that the letter was written by Figaro, and then delivered by Basilio. Figaro then arrives and tries to start the wedding festivities, but the Count berates him with questions about the anonymous note. Just as the Count is starting to run out of questions, Antonio the gardener arrives, complaining that a man has jumped out of the window and damaged his carnations while running away. Antonio adds that he tentatively identified the running man as Cherubino, but Figaro claims it was he himself who jumped out of the window, and pretends to have injured his foot while landing. Figaro, Susanna, and the Countess attempt to discredit Antonio as a chronic drunkard whose constant inebriation makes him unreliable and prone to fantasy, but Antonio brings forward a paper which, he says, was dropped by the escaping man. The Count orders Figaro to prove he was the jumper by identifying the paper (which is, in fact, Cherubino's appointment to the army). Figaro is at a loss, but Susanna and the Countess manage to signal the correct answers, and Figaro triumphantly identifies the document. His victory is, however, short-lived: Marcellina, Bartolo, and Basilio enter, bringing charges against Figaro and demanding that he honor his contract to marry Marcellina, since he cannot repay her loan. The Count happily postpones the wedding in order to investigate the charge.
Act 3A rich hall, with two thrones, prepared for the wedding ceremony.
The Count mulls over the confusing situation. At the urging of the Countess, Susanna enters and gives a false promise to meet the Count later that night in the garden (duet: "Crudel! perchè finora" – "Cruel girl, why did you make me wait so long"). As Susanna leaves, the Count overhears her telling Figaro that he has already won the case. Realizing that he is being tricked (recitative and aria: "Hai già vinta la causa! ... Vedrò, mentr'io sospiro" – "You've already won the case!" ... "Shall I, while sighing, see"), he resolves to punish Figaro by forcing him to marry Marcellina.
Figaro's hearing follows, and the Count's judgment is that Figaro must marry Marcellina. Figaro argues that he cannot get married without his parents' permission, and that he does not know who his parents are, because he was stolen from them when he was a baby. The ensuing discussion reveals that Figaro is Rafaello, the long-lost illegitimate son of Bartolo and Marcellina. A touching scene of reconciliation occurs. During the celebrations, Susanna enters with a payment to release Figaro from his debt to Marcellina. Seeing Figaro and Marcellina in celebration together, Susanna mistakenly believes that Figaro now prefers Marcellina to her. She has a tantrum 發脾氣 and slaps Figaro's face. Marcellina explains, and Susanna, realizing her mistake, joins the celebration. Bartolo, overcome with emotion, agrees to marry Marcellina that evening in a double wedding (sextet: "Riconosci in questo amplesso" – "Recognize in this embrace").
All leave, before Barbarina, Antonio's daughter, invites Cherubino back to her house so they can disguise him as a girl. The Countess, alone, ponders the loss of her happiness (aria: "Dove sono i bei momenti" – "Where are they, the beautiful moments"). Meanwhile, Antonio informs the Count that Cherubino is not in Seville, but in fact at his house. Susanna enters and updates her mistress regarding the plan to trap the Count. The Countess dictates a love letter for Susanna to send to the Count, which suggests that he meet her (Susanna) that night, "under the pines". The letter instructs the Count to return the pin which fastens the letter (duet: "Sull'aria...che soave zeffiretto" – "On the breeze... What a gentle little zephyr").
A chorus of young peasants, among them Cherubino disguised as a girl, arrives to serenade the Countess. The Count arrives with Antonio and, discovering the page, is enraged. His anger is quickly dispelled by Barbarina, who publicly recalls that he had once offered to give her anything she wants in exchange for certain favors, and asks for Cherubino's hand in marriage. Thoroughly embarrassed, the Count allows Cherubino to stay.
The act closes with the double wedding, during the course of which Susanna delivers her letter to the Count (Finale: "Ecco la marcia" – "Here is the procession"). Figaro watches the Count prick his finger on the pin, and laughs, unaware that the love-note is an invitation for the Count to tryst with Figaro's own bride Susanna. As the curtain drops, the two newlywed couples rejoice.
Act 4The garden, with two pavilions. Night.
Following the directions in the letter, the Count has sent the pin back to Susanna, giving it to Barbarina. However, Barbarina has lost it (aria: "L'ho perduta, me meschina" – "I have lost it, poor me"). Figaro and Marcellina see Barbarina, and Figaro asks her what she is doing. When he hears the pin is Susanna's, he is overcome with jealousy, especially as he recognises the pin to be the one that fastened the letter to the Count. Thinking that Susanna is meeting the Count behind his back, Figaro complains to his mother, and swears to be avenged on the Count and Susanna, and on all unfaithful wives. Marcellina urges caution, but Figaro will not listen. Figaro rushes off, and Marcellina resolves to inform Susanna of Figaro's intentions. Marcellina sings an aria lamenting that male and female wild beasts get along with each other, but rational humans can't (aria: "Il capro e la capretta" – "The billy-goat and the she-goat"). (This aria and Basilio's ensuing aria are usually omitted from performances due to their relative unimportance, both musically and dramatically; however, some recordings include them.)
Motivated by jealousy, Figaro tells Bartolo and Basilio to come to his aid when he gives the signal. Basilio comments on Figaro's foolishness and claims he was once as frivolous as Figaro was. He tells a tale of how he was given common sense by "Donna Flemma" ("Dame Prudence") and learned the importance of not crossing powerful people. (aria: "In quegli anni" – "In those years"). They exit, leaving Figaro alone. Figaro muses bitterly on the inconstancy of women (recitative and aria: "Tutto è disposto ... Aprite un po' quegli occhi" – "Everything is ready ... Open those eyes a little"). Susanna and the Countess arrive, each dressed in the other's clothes. Marcellina is with them, having informed Susanna of Figaro's suspicions and plans. After they discuss the plan, Marcellina and the Countess leave, and Susanna teases Figaro by singing a love song to her beloved within Figaro's hearing (快來吧,不要遲緩aria: "Deh vieni, non-tardar" – "Oh come, don't delay"). Figaro is hiding behind a bush and, thinking the song is for the Count, becomes increasingly jealous.
The Countess arrives in Susanna's dress. Cherubino shows up and starts teasing "Susanna" (really the Countess), endangering the plan. (Finale: "Pian pianin le andrò più presso" – "Softly, softly I'll approach her") The Count gets rid of him by striking out in the dark. His punch actually ends up hitting Figaro, but the point is made and Cherubino runs off.
The Count now begins making earnest love to "Susanna" (really the Countess), and gives her a jeweled ring. They go offstage together, where the Countess dodges him, hiding in the dark. Onstage, meanwhile, the real Susanna enters, wearing the Countess' clothes. Figaro mistakes her for the real Countess, and starts to tell her of the Count's intentions, but he suddenly recognizes his bride in disguise. He plays along with the joke by pretending to be in love with "my lady", and inviting her to make love right then and there. Susanna, fooled, loses her temper and slaps him many times. Figaro finally lets on that he has recognized Susanna's voice, and they make peace, resolving to conclude the comedy together ("Pace, pace, mio dolce tesoro" – "Peace, peace, my sweet treasure").
The Count, unable to find "Susanna", enters frustrated. Figaro gets his attention by loudly declaring his love for "the Countess" (really Susanna). The enraged Count calls for his people and for weapons: his servant is seducing his wife. (Ultima scena: "Gente, gente, all'armi, all'armi" – "Gentlemen, to arms!") Bartolo, Basilio and Antonio enter with torches as, one by one, the Count drags out Cherubino, Barbarina, Marcellina and the "Countess" from behind the pavilion.
All beg him to forgive Figaro and the "Countess", but he loudly refuses, repeating "no" at the top of his voice, until finally the real Countess re-enters and reveals her true identity. The Count, seeing the ring he had given her, realizes that the supposed Susanna he was trying to seduce was actually his wife. Ashamed and remorseful, he kneels and pleads for forgiveness himself ("Contessa perdono!" – "Countess, forgive me!"). The Countess, more kind than he ("Più docile io sono" – "I am more mild"), forgives her husband and all are contented.
義大利語
Le nozze di Figaro (K 492) è un'opera lirica di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. È la prima delle tre opere italiane scritte dal compositore salisburghese su libretto di Lorenzo Da Ponte.
Musicato da Mozart all'età di ventinove anni, il testo dapontiano fu tratto dalla commedia Le Mariage de Figaro di Beaumarchais (autore della trilogia di Figaro: Il barbiere di Siviglia, Il matrimonio di Figaro e La madre colpevole).
Le nozze di Figaro è una delle più famose opere di Mozart e dell'intero teatro musicale, ed è la prima di una serie di felici collaborazioni tra Mozart e Da Ponte, che ha portato anche alla creazione del Don Giovanni e di Così fan tutte.
Fu Mozart stesso a portare una copia della commedia di Beaumarchais a Da Ponte, che la tradusse in lingua italiana (tuttora la lingua ufficiale dell'opera lirica) e che (d'accordo con Mozart) rimosse tutti gli elementi di satira politica dalla storia.
L'opera fu scritta da Mozart in gran segreto in quanto la commedia era stata vietata dall'imperatore Giuseppe II, poiché attizzava l'odio tra le varie classi. Egli impiegò sei settimane per completarla, in particolare scrisse il finale del secondo atto in una notte, un giorno e una successiva notte di lavoro continuato. Fu solo dopo aver convinto l'Imperatore della rimozione delle scene politicamente più discusse che questi diede il permesso di rappresentare l'opera.
Inoltre, la scena finale del terzo atto, che comprendeva un balletto e una pantomima, si dovette scontrare con un divieto imperiale di rappresentare balli in scena. Racconta Da Ponte, nelle sue Memorie, che lui e Mozart, non intendendo rinunciare al finale come l'avevano concepito, invitarono l'imperatore ad assistere a una prova, dove eseguirono quel pezzo muto. L'Imperatore subito ordinò che la musica fosse reinserita.
Così Le nozze di Figaro, finita di comporre il 29 aprile, fu messa in scena al Burgtheater di Vienna, il 1º maggio 1786 con Nancy Storace (Susanna), Francesco Benucci (Figaro), Dorotea Bussani (Cherubino) e Michael Kelly (Basilio e Don Curzio), diretta dal compositore nelle prime due rappresentazioni e da Joseph Weigl nelle repliche. Ottenne un successo strepitoso, al punto che l'Imperatore, dopo la terza recita, dovette emanare un decreto per limitare le richieste di bis, in modo che le repliche non durassero troppo. Ancor più grande fu il successo al Teatro Nazionale di Praga (dal 17 gennaio 1787), dove (a detta di Mozart): «Qui non si parla che del Figaro, non si suona, non si strombetta, non si canta, non si fischia che il Figaro, non si va a sentire altra opera che il Figaro. Eternamente Figaro!».
L'opera è in quattro atti e ruota attorno alle trame del Conte d'Almaviva, invaghito della cameriera della Contessa, Susanna, alla quale cerca di imporre lo ius primae noctis. La vicenda si svolge in un intreccio serrato e folle, in cui donne e uomini si contrappongono nel corso di una giornata di passione travolgente, piena sia di eventi drammatici che comici, e nella quale alla fine i 「servi」 si dimostrano più signori e intelligenti dei loro padroni. L'opera è per Mozart (e prima di lui per Beaumarchais) un pretesto per prendersi gioco delle classi sociali dell'epoca che da lì a poco saranno travolte dai fatti con la Rivoluzione francese. L'intera vicenda può anche essere letta come una metafora delle diverse fasi dell'amore: Cherubino e Barbarina rappresentano l'amore acerbo, Susanna e Figaro l'amore che sboccia, il Conte e la Contessa l'amore logorato e senza più alcuna passione, Marcellina e don Bartolo l'amore maturo.
Primo attoIl mattino del giorno delle nozze, Figaro e Susanna sono nella stanza che il Conte ha assegnato loro. Figaro misura la stanza, mentre Susanna si prova il cappello che ha preparato per le nozze. Nella parte centrale dell'atto Figaro si rallegra della generosità del Conte, ma Susanna sostiene che quella generosità non è disinteressata: il Conte vuol rivendicare lo ius primae noctis che egli stesso aveva abolito. Le brame del Conte sono, peraltro, favorite da Don Basilio, maestro di musica. Figaro si arrabbia e medita vendetta. Anche la non più giovane Marcellina è intenzionata a mandare all'aria i progetti di matrimonio di Figaro e sostiene, con l'aiuto di Don Bartolo, il proprio diritto a sposare Figaro in virtù di un prestito concessogli in passato e mai restituito. Don Bartolo, del resto, gode all'idea di potersi vendicare dell'ex barbiere di Siviglia, che aveva favorito il Conte a sottrargli Rosina, l'attuale Contessa. Entra Cherubino per chiedere a Susanna di intercedere in suo favore presso la Contessa: il giorno prima il Conte, trovandolo solo con Barbarina, si era insospettito e lo aveva cacciato dal palazzo. L'arrivo improvviso del Conte lo obbliga a nascondersi e ad assistere alle proposte galanti che il Conte indirizza alla cameriera Susanna. Ma anche il Conte deve nascondersi al veder avvicinarsi Don Basilio, che svela a Susanna le attenzioni rivolte dal paggio Cherubino alla Contessa. Sopraffatto dalla gelosia, il Conte esce dal nascondiglio e, una volta scoperto che anche il paggio era lì nascosto, va su tutte le furie. Entrano i contadini con Figaro, ringraziando il Conte per aver eliminato il famigerato ius primae noctis. Il Conte, con un pretesto, rinvia il giorno delle nozze e ordina l'invio immediato di Cherubino a Siviglia, dove dovrà arruolarsi come ufficiale. Figaro si prende gioco del paggio con una delle arie più famose dell'opera, Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso.
Secondo attoNelle ampie camere della Contessa, Susanna decide di rivelarle le attenzioni che essa ha ricevuto dal Conte. Entra Figaro ed espone il suo piano di battaglia: ha fatto pervenire al Conte un biglietto anonimo dove si afferma che la Contessa ha dato un appuntamento ad un ammiratore per quella sera. Quindi suggerisce a Susanna di fingere di accettare un incontro col Conte: Cherubino (che non è ancora partito) andrà al posto di lei vestito da donna, così la Contessa smaschererà il marito, cogliendolo in fallo. Tuttavia, mentre il travestimento del paggio è ancora in corso, il Conte sopraggiunge e, insospettito dai rumori provenienti dalla stanza attigua (dove la Contessa ha rinchiuso Cherubino), decide di forzare la porta. Ma Cherubino riesce a fuggire saltando dalla finestra e Susanna ne prende il posto. Quando dal guardaroba esce Susanna invece di Cherubino, il Conte è costretto a chiedere perdono alla moglie. Entra Figaro, che spera di poter finalmente affrettare la cerimonia nuziale. Irrompe, però, il giardiniere Antonio che afferma di aver visto qualcuno saltare dalla finestra della camera della Contessa. Figaro cerca di parare il colpo sostenendo di essere stato lui a saltare. Ma ecco arrivare con Don Bartolo anche Marcellina che reclama i suoi diritti: possiede ormai tutti i documenti necessari per costringere Figaro a sposarla.
Terzo attoMentre il Conte si trova nella sua stanza pensieroso, la Contessa spinge Susanna a concedere un appuntamento galante al Conte, il quale però si accorge dell'inganno e promette di vendicarsi. Il giudice Don Curzio entra con le parti contendenti e dispone che Figaro debba restituire il suo debito o sposare Marcellina, ma da un segno che Figaro porta sul braccio si scopre ch'egli è il frutto di una vecchia relazione tra Marcellina e Don Bartolo, i quali sono quindi i suoi genitori. Marcellina è lietissima di aver ritrovato il figliolo, ma in quel mentre sopraggiunge Susanna con la somma necessaria a riscattare Figaro liberandolo dall'obbligo di sposare Marcellina: vedendoli abbracciati Susanna dapprima s'infuria, poi, compresa la felice situazione, si unisce alla gioia di Figaro e dei due più anziani amanti. Marcellina acconsente alla tardiva proposta di matrimonio dallo stesso Don Bartolo e condona il debito come regalo a Figaro per le nozze con Susanna, Don Bartolo porge un'ulteriore somma di denaro come regalo per il matrimonio; il Conte, invece, monta su tutte le furie.
La Contessa, intanto, determinata a riconquistare il marito, detta a Susanna un bigliettino, sigillato da una spilla, per l'appuntamento notturno, da far avere al Conte. Modificando il piano di Figaro, ed agendo a sua insaputa, le due donne decidono che sarà la stessa Contessa e non Cherubino ad incontrare il Conte al posto di Susanna. Mentre alcune giovani contadine recano ghirlande per la Contessa, Susanna consegna il biglietto galante al Conte, che si punge il dito con la spilla. Figaro è divertito: non ha visto, infatti, chi ha dato il bigliettino al Conte. L'atto si conclude col festeggiamento di ben due coppie di sposi: oltre a Susanna e Figaro, anche Marcellina e Don Bartolo.
Quarto attoÈ ormai notte e nell'oscurità del parco del castello Barbarina sta cercando la spilla che il Conte le ha detto di restituire a Susanna e che la fanciulla ha perduto. Figaro capisce che il biglietto ricevuto dal Conte gli era stato consegnato dalla sua promessa sposa e, credendo ad una nuova trama, si nasconde con un piccolo gruppo di persone da usare come testimoni del tradimento di Susanna che, nel mentre, all'ascoltare i dubbi di Figaro sulla sua fedeltà, si sente offesa dalla sua mancanza di fiducia e decide di farlo stare sulle spine. Entra allora Cherubino e, vista Susanna (che è in realtà la Contessa travestita), decide di importunarla; nello stesso momento giunge il Conte il quale, dopo aver scacciato il paggio, inizia a corteggiare quella che crede essere la sua amante.
Fingendo di veder arrivare qualcuno, la Contessa travestita da Susanna fugge nel bosco, mentre il Conte va a vedere cosa succede; nel contempo Figaro, che stava spiando gli amanti, rimane solo e viene raggiunto da Susanna travestita da Contessa. I due si mettono a parlare, ma Susanna, durante la conversazione, dimentica di falsare la propria voce e Figaro la riconosce. Per punire la sua promessa sposa, questi non le comunica la cosa ma rende le proprie avances alla Contessa molto esplicite. In un turbinio di colpi di scena, alla fine Figaro chiede scusa a Susanna per aver dubitato della sua fedeltà, mentre il Conte, arrivato per la seconda volta, scorge Figaro corteggiare quella che crede essere sua moglie; interviene a questo punto la vera Contessa che, con Susanna, chiarisce l'inganno davanti ad un Conte profondamente allibito. Allora questi implora con sincerità il perdono della Contessa e le nozze tra Figaro e Susanna si possono finalmente celebrare; la "folle giornata" si chiude così in modo festoso con l'aria conclusiva Ah, tutti contenti
莫扎特:
快30歲的莫扎特重新開始創作歌劇,「費加羅的婚禮」和「唐璜」。
Mozart's extremely spare funeral did not reflect his standing with the public as a composer: memorial services and concerts in Vienna and Prague were well attended. Indeed, during the period following his death, Mozart's musical reputation rose substantially; Solomon describes an "unprecedented wave of enthusiasm" for his work. Biographies were written (initially by Schlichtegroll, Niemetschek, and Nissen), and publishers vied to produce complete editions of his works.
