Non più andrai
"" (You shall go no more) is an aria for bass from Mozart's 1786 opera "The Marriage of Figaro", K. 492. The Italian libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, "La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro" (1784). It is sung by Figaro at the end of the first act.
The Marriage of Figaro (play)
"The Marriage" was written as a sequel to "The Barber". In his preface to the play, Beaumarchais says that Louis François, Prince of Conti had requested it. The play's denunciation of aristocratic privilege has been characterised as foreshadowing the French Revolution. The revolutionary leader Georges Danton said that the play "killed off the nobility"; in exile, Napoleon Bonaparte called it "the Revolution already put into action."
