The Marriage of Figaro Opera Tickets

Enjoy one of the most popular operas of all time when you purchase The Marriage of Figaro tickets at TicketSmarter. The Marriage of Figaro is an opera buffa, or comic opera, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and first premiered in 1786. The libretto for the opera, written by Lorenzo Da Ponte, is based on a 1784 comedy play by Pierre Beaumarchais titled La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (The Mad Day, or the Marriage of Figaro.) The opera is technically a sequel, as it picks up a few years after the events of The Barber of Seville, another Pierre Beaumarchais play which was turned into an opera.

The plot of The Marriage of Figaro is relatively simple - it follows the romantic relationship of servants Figaro and Susanna, and the attempt of their employer Count Almaviva to sleep with Susanna for his “droit du seigneur,” which was the right of a lord to bed his servant on her wedding night. Naturally, hijinks ensue, and the result is an uproarious story full of twists and turns, all told through Mozart’s masterfully composed music. Ever since the opera’s first performance in 1786 at Burgtheater, Vienna, it has become one of Mozart’s best-known works, and one of the most beloved operas ever composed.

Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
