Le nozze di Figaro -  (The Marriage of Figaro)

Madrid

Teatro Real

Sala Principal

Lorenzo Da Ponte –libretista de Le nozze di Figaro– hubo de reemplazar el discurso con el que Figaro culminaba su crítica contra la nobleza por un aria dirigida contra la infidelidad femenina –«Aprite un po’ quegli occhi»– para que José II de Austria revocara su prohibición de representar la polémica comedia con tintes revolucionarios de Pierre Beaumarchais. Pese a ello, ninguno de los cambios efectuados por el libretista menguaron un ápice el subversivo subtexto que la ha proyectado hasta nuestros días como la brillante e inteligente denuncia de la tiranía y del patriarcado que siempre ha sido. A decir verdad, la opera buffa fue –desde los tiempos de La serva padrona– el universo de ficción en el que una mujer de clase social baja podía someter mediante la astucia y sin perder la sonrisa a un hombre perteneciente a un estrato superior. Sin embargo, Le nozze di Figaro expande dicho marco a un nivel nunca visto, en el que los personajes son tanto menos dueños de la situación cuanto más alto están situados en el escalafón social (y de género).

Lorenzo Da Ponte, librettist of the Le nozze di Figaro,   had to replace the speech with which Figaro concludes his critique of  nobility in an aria  directed  against the infidelity of women –«Aprite un po’ quegli occhi»– so that Joseph II of Austria would revoke his decision to prohibit the controversial comedy with revolutionaries touches by Pierre Beaumarchais. In spite of this, none of the changes made by the librettist diminished in the least the subversive subtext which was projected up until our times: the brilliant and intelligent denunciation of tyranny and patriarchy which has existed forever.  In all truth, opera buffa was – from the times of La serva padrona– a universe of fiction in which a woman of a lower social class could prevail over a man of a higher stratum with audacity and a never ending smile.  However,  Le nozze di Figaro took this framework to a level never seen before, in which the characters are less in control of the situation the further up the social scale ( and gender) they find themselves.
