  • The Abduction of Figaro is a comic opera in three acts, described as "A Simply Grand Opera by P. D. Q. Bach", by Peter Schickele. It is a parody of opera in general, and the title is a play on two operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: The Abduction from the Seraglio, K. 384, and The Marriage of Figaro, K. 492. Those two operas, as well as Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni, and Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance are among the core inspirations for the piece. The Abduction of Figaro is numbered S. 384, 492 in Schickele's catalogue of works. Schickele was commissioned to "discover" this opera by the Minnesota Opera, where the piece premiered on April 27 and 28, 1984. In addition to parodying Mozart, the music incorporates diverse influences and musical quotes, from traditional camp songs like "Found a Peanut" to popular songs like "Macho Man" by the Village People. The opera has been released on VHS and DVD. (en)
  • Il ratto di Figaro (nell'originale inglese: The Abduction of Figaro) è un'opera comica in forma di pasticcio di P. D. Q. Bach. L'opera, in realtà, è del compositore contemporaneo Peter Schickele, il quale volle creare una parodia dei pasticci (e delle loro trame improbabili) in voga nel XVIII secolo. Il titolo della composizione deriva da due opere di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, parodiate all'interno della composizione: Il ratto dal serraglio e Le nozze di Figaro. Il ratto di Figaro, inoltre, contiene citazioni musicali tratte anche dal Così fan tutte e dal Don Giovanni. Oltre a parodiare Mozart, la composizione include alcune citazioni di musica contemporanea. (it)
