| Description |
Performed in the style of Opéra Comique, where some of the recitatives are replaced by dialogue, this version was how the author Beaumarchais presented the first French performance of Figaro before the King Louis XVI’s court – a performance which so shocked the king that he forbade it’s public presentation. |
