Which opera features the famous repeated cry of “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!”?
La Bohème
Madama Butterfly
The Barber of Seville
The Marriage of Figaro
Fact: The iconic line “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!” comes from The Barber of Seville, an opera composed by Gioachino Rossini and premiered in 1816. The exclamation occurs in Figaro’s aria “Largo al factotum,” in which the witty barber introduces himself with a burst of energy and bravado. The rapid-fire repetition of his name has become one of the most recognizable moments in opera, often parodied in cartoons, films, and pop culture. While Mozart wrote The Marriage of Figaro, it is Rossini’s The Barber of Seville that contains the famous “Figaro!” refrain.
Correct Answer: The Barber of Seville
