Arguably, one of Mozart's most famous operas is Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro).  Taking place two years later, it is a continuation of the Barber of Seville.

Here's another famous Mozart aria from Le Nozze di Figaro: "Voi che sapete che cosa e amor."  Learn the Italian lyrics and English translation to this beautiful song.  Follow along with this YouTube video of Federica Von Stade.
