Figaro
(redirected from Figaro (character in operas and plays))

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Figaro

Character of dramatic fiction. He made his first appearance in Pierre de Beaumarchais's plays The Barber of Seville (1775), The Marriage of Figaro (1784), and The Other Tartuffe (1792). Since Beaumarchais's time Figaro has become the type of ingenious roguery, intrigue, and cunning, who displays the utmost sang-froid in all his daring deceptions. He appears conspicuously in Mozart's opera The Marriage de Figaro (1786) and Rossini's The Barber of Seville (1816), both operas being based on the plays of the same names.

See nozze di Figaro, Le and barbiere di Siviglia, Il.
