Waiting for Figaro (The Impresario, The Deluded Bridegroom and The Cairo Goose)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (composer, 1756-1791) established a European reputation as a child prodigy, both as pianist and composer. His works covered nearly all the available genres of the time, and in most he extended the range of expressive possibilities well beyond the established conventions of the current classical style. His 22 operas range from the juvenile Der Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots to Die Zauberflöte in his final year, as well as numerous interpolations composed for operas by his contemporaries. He worked in the genres of opera seria, opera buffa and singspiel.
