Like its author, Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, The Marriage of Figaro had a long, illustrious history.
Completed in 1780, the play would not be acted on the French stage until 1784. Beaumarchais faced many obstacles in producing his comedy. The official French censors, as well as King Louis XVI, opposed the play.

The comedy was scandalous in its depiction of a pleasure-seeking, incompetent nobleman who is upstaged by his crafty, quick-witted servant in their quest for the same woman. In its questioning of France’s longstanding social class system, which stood as the very basis of France’s governing body, it was also revolutionary.
The aristocracy who made up the play’s appreciative audience understood its subversive nature, yet continued to attend showings in record numbers.
