I keep thinking that something from Figaro must be about patriarchy blaming, but then I can't think what. Am I making that up? Also, if I were a wealthy person who could be an effective patroness, I'd sponsor an entire concert or recording or both of sopranos blaming the patriarchy.

I Blame the Patriarchy aria disc zingerella November 8 2011, 22:27:10 UTC

I know, right? I want this recording to exist in the world!

Regarding Figaro, I think I tend to read Beaumarchais as kind of a condemnation of the stupid ways in which society treated women, and of social roles in general, which roles of course the women and servants in Figaro do indeed subvert. Which is of course one of the reasons I love it.

One could argue that both Lulu and Wozzeck are about patriarchy as, rather more directly, is Haydn's Il Mondo della Luna
