How is mozart subversive?


How is mozart subversive?

In some works he is considered to be so. The opera, The Marriage of Figaro, is one such where the Figaro of the title in the employ of Count Almaviva . Figaro sings in Act 1 (in an English translation), about his master:

'If you want dancing, I'll be your master;
faster and faster,
dance till you drop,
You'll see, you'll see, be careful, Figaro, be careful!'

That's because the Count has suggested Figaro's betrothed, Susannah, should go away with him on a trip - so he can have his evil way with her. The opera is all about how Figaro thwarts his master's plans. This was pretty subversive stuff or the 1780s when revolution was in the air.

He wikes to jump on the twampowine!
