Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Beaumarchais
In 1872, Tchaikovsky wrote music to accompany Count Almaviva's couplets ('Vous l'ordonnez') in a production of Beaumarchais' 1775 play The Barber of Seville (Le Barbier de Séville) at the Moscow Conservatory, in a Russian translation attributed to the actor Mikhail Sadovsky (1847–1910).
