Figaro, the central character in the comedies, The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro, and The Guilty Mother by Pierre de Beaumarchais. The first two were each turned into a famous opera, by Gioacchino Rossini and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart respectively. Sometimes The Marriage of Figaro is referred to as simply "Figaro". Athough the story of "The Barber of Seville" precedes "The Marriage of Figaro", Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" was written before Rossini's opera "The Barber of Seville". (On a note of trivia, there was an earlier opera version of The Barber of Seville by Giovanni Paisiello, before the famous Rossini opera The Barber of Seville was written).
