Beaumarchais's comedy premiered at the Comédie-Française in Paris on 27 April 1784, after the King lifted his ban on the play that year.
The comedy La folle journée ou Le Mariage de Figaro, written by Beaumarchais around 1778 as a sequel to Le Barbier de Séville, premiered on 27 April 1784 at the Comédie-Française in Paris. The play's thinly veiled satire of the aristocracy had drawn opposition, and the King had banned it; he finally relented and lifted the ban in 1784, allowing the premiere to proceed. The supplied sources confirm the date and venue but do not name the cast of the premiere performance.
