Rossini composed this masterpiece of opera buffa at the age of twenty-three, and its premiere in Rome in 1816 quickly became a European success. It was revived in Paris in 1819 at the Théâtre Italien, and from 1820 at the Opéra-Comique in a French version of the libretto by Castil-Blaze.

It is in order to present this iconic work, inspired by Beaumarchais, in French that the Opéra Royal at the Château de Versailles is staging this production, with the sparkling direction of Cécile Roussat and Julien Lubeck, and Florian Sempey in the role of Figaro.
