Which opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart features the character Figaro?

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed The Marriage of Figaro, an opera centered on the clever servant Figaro. Its original Italian title is Le nozze di Figaro, and it premiered in Vienna on May 1, 1786.

Mozart wrote the music to an Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, who adapted Pierre Beaumarchais's 1784 comedy The Marriage of Figaro. The story follows Figaro and Susanna as they try to marry while outmaneuvering Count Almaviva, whose attempts to seduce Susanna drive much of the plot. The opera balances social satire with intricate comedy and emotional depth.

The work is written in four acts and typically lasts around three hours. Its famous music includes Figaro's “Non più andrai,” Susanna's “Deh vieni, non tardar,” and the Countess's “Dove sono.” The other options are also Mozart operas, which can cause confusion: Don Giovanni premiered in 1787, Così fan tutte in 1790, and The Magic Flute in 1791, but only The Marriage of Figaro directly features Figaro as its central character.
