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 Marriage of Figaro 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. Although Beaumarchais's Marriage of Figaro was at first banned in Vienna because of its licentiousness, Mozart's librettist managed to get official approval for an operatic version which eventually achieved great success.
One of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most well-known pieces, "The Marriage of Figaro," is performed here by an unknown symphonic orchestra. The picture is one of Mozart himself. Enjoy and thanks for watching.

This is the marriage of silence and love
here is the temple where I come to learn
here are the eternal little things that I always loved
here are all my tears just waiting for my return.
This the marriage of silence and love
this is the land of the gentle soul
here sometimes I met the man who can see what I see
live what I dream and be the way he seems.
And I have no doubt, here I fall and rise
here I can be poor and feel so rich inside
here I come back to me, here I come back to see
what he's doing now, what he's doing now.
Oh, I believe in the marriage of silence and love
and I still need some patience to grasp it all
I hope I won't forget these feelings fading off in time
trapped behind my face, burning in my mind.
Oh, I have no doubt, here I become wise
here I can be poor and feel rich inside
here I come back to me, here I come back to see
what he's doing now, what he's doing now.
At first, I've lost my direction and I was just glad to be alive
but then, I had to meet myself and my depression and I,
I should have swallowed all my pride
and I know it now, yes I know it now
and I want to know him now, 'cause I want to love him now.
Still I have no doubt, here I live for now
here I can be poor and feel so rich inside
here I come back to me, here I come back to see
what he's doing now, what he's doing now.
here I come back to me, here I come back to see
what he's doing now, what he's doing now.
and I want to know him now.
