Mozart wrote The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro). It is one of the two operas in the standard repertoire featuring Figaro as a character; the other is The Barber of Seville (Il Barbiere di Siviglia) by Gioacchino Rossini. Both of the operas are based on plays by Pierre Beaumarchais. Giovanni Paisiello made the Barber into an Opera before Rossini did, but it hasn't had the success that Rossini's had.
Mozart is the only composer to write operas in the standard repertoire in more than one language. The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi Fan Tutte are sung in Italian, while The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote) and The Abduction from the Seraglio (Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail) are sung in German. Mozart, in total, wrote twenty-two operas, but only those five are considered to be part of the standard repertoire; La Clemenza di Tito, which Mozart hadn't completed when he died and his pupil Sussmayr finished, is sometimes performed, as is Idomeneo.
