Se vuol ballare
The cavatina "" is an aria for baritone or bass from the first act of the opera "The Marriage of Figaro" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (1784). The Italian title means "If you want to dance".
Josepha Duschek
In 1787, "The Marriage of Figaro" was mounted in a Prague production. A number of Prague music lovers invited Mozart to come to Prague and hear the production; the "Grove Dictionary" suggested that Duschek and her husband František were among them.
