Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of history’s most celebrated composers, displayed extraordinary talent from an early age. His Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Major, K. 211, is a testament to his early mastery of the violin repertoire. Composed in 1775, when Mozart was just 19 years old, this concerto is one of five he wrote for the violin during a brief but highly productive period in Salzburg.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro) is one of the most celebrated operas in the history of classical music. First performed in 1786, this masterful comic opera (or opera buffa) is renowned for its intricate musical composition, sharp social commentary, and enduring relevance. Based on Pierre Beaumarchais’ controversial play La Folle Journée, ou Le Mariage de Figaro (The Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro), Mozart’s work reflects a turning point in 18th-century opera and remains a cornerstone of the operatic repertoire today.
