Figaro
In the Barber of Seville, Figaro , representing the original Beaumarchais, is displayed for the first time. It has many features of Beaumarchais himself. Mocking, persistent, adroit, inexhaustible in entangling and unraveling intrigues, never lost or discouraged, he knows how to find a way out of any situation. He is the central figure. Thus, already in this comedy, the main person is a simple servant, personifying the third estate .
Preville (Préville) (1721-1799) was the creator of the image of Figaro in the Beaumarchais Seville Barber during the first production of 1775 .
Opera
Comedy was the impetus for the creation of several operas. (For a list of works, see Figaro ). But the most famous of them was the Rossini opera of the same name .
