Opera is one of the main genres of Mozart's creation. He began to try to compose operas at the age of eleven and has written seventeen operas. Mozart's early creation was mainly Italian style, and his highest achievement in the field of opera creation was achieved in the last decade of his life (1782- 179 1). The main works are as follows: two German operas "Temptation of Harem" and "Magic Flute" were created in German; An Italian comic opera "The Wedding of Figaro" uses Italian lyrics, but it is based on Austrian national cultural traditions; There is also a new opera Don Juan, which combines the most important features of musical tragedy and comedy. Mozart's four-act comedy opera The Wedding of Figaro, written between 1785- 1786, describes the struggle between the commoner Figaro and the noble master who coveted his fiancee Susanna's beauty, and finally won with wit and humor. This social comedy has played a great role in exposing and satirizing the feudal aristocrats in France on the eve of the Great Revolution. Mozart kept the basic idea of the original when he wrote this opera. The foolish and dissolute aristocratic master is in sharp contrast with the clever servant who won the victory, which is the basis of the whole plot development and music description.
The prelude to The Wedding of Figaro adopts the technique of symphony, which concisely embodies the unique relaxed and unrestrained joy and fast-moving rhythm of this comedy. This piece of music, full of vitality and brilliant effect, has quite complete and independent characteristics, and can be played alone without opera, becoming one of the popular traditional tracks in concerts. Although the overture is not directly based on the musical theme of the opera, it has a profound connection with the opera itself and is written in the form of sonata. At first, the first theme of violin playing flew like flies, then the singing of woodwind instruments, followed by the strong participation of the whole band; The second theme is obviously lyrical and beautiful as a song. Finally, the whole song ended in a brisk atmosphere.
