* 1749 – Lorenzo Da Ponte, Italian librettist ( d. 1838 )

Some composers, notably Richard Wagner, have written their own libretti ; others have worked in close collaboration with their librettists, e. g. Mozart with Lorenzo Da Ponte.

Mozart, in many ways Gluck's successor, combined a superb sense of drama, harmony, melody, and counterpoint to write a series of comedies, notably Così fan tutte, The Marriage of Figaro, and Don Giovanni ( in collaboration with Lorenzo Da Ponte ) which remain among the most-loved, popular and well-known operas today.

Le nozze di Figaro, ossia la folle giornata ( The Marriage of Figaro, or The Day of Madness ), K. 492, is an opera buffa ( comic opera ) composed in 1786 in four acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with a libretto in Italian by Lorenzo Da Ponte, based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro ( 1784 ).

The opera was the first of three collaborations between Mozart and Da Ponte ; their later collaborations were Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte.

It was Mozart who originally selected Beaumarchais's play and brought it to Da Ponte, who turned it into a libretto in six weeks, rewriting it in poetic Italian and removing all of the original's political references.

In particular, Da Ponte replaced Figaro's climactic speech against inherited nobility with an equally angry aria against unfaithful wives.

Da Ponte was paid 200 florins.
