Was the barber of saville motzarts favourite opera

Short answer: No — the question is likely based on a misunderstanding or mixed-up names. Explanation: - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) wrote the opera The Marriage of Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro, 1786), whose central character is Figaro, a barber. Figaro is a famous Mozart opera, but we have no reliable evidence that it was Mozart’s personal favourite — composers rarely recorded a single “favourite” of their own works in a way that survives. - There is no well-known composer or historical figure named “Saville Mozart.” If you meant Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, then “the barber” (Figaro) is one of his masterpieces but not documented as his favourite. - If you meant another person (for example someone named Saville) who admired Mozart, please clarify and I can check whether Figaro was that person’s favourite.
