Le Nozze Di Figaro is the masterpiece of the 18th century outstanding Austria composer Mozart, while Il Barbiere di Siviglia was composed by the 19th century Italian composer Rossini. Both of the works are based on the work of the well-known French comedy writer Beaumarchais-----Figaro's three melodies. Il Barbiere di Siviglia composed in 1786 was based on the first part, while Le Nozze Di Figaro in 1816 was on the second part. Though thirty years had passed before the second work came out since the production of the first piece, they both are masterpieces in the history of world music and take important parts in the world opera. They are recognized as the masterpieces of comical opera.Set in different background, both works reflect the social life through artistic performance and result from the positive elements as the development of western comical opera and the artistic skills accumulated over the years. However, it was the typical opera concept, aesthetic judgment and artistic values which were formed in the life and artistic creation that play decisive roles. Both works are continuous in plot and the characters are much the same, among whom Rosyna is the main character both composers depicted. The difference lies in that Rosyna was a pretty young lady in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, while in Le Nozze Di Figaro she was a steady noble lady. How did the composer reflect the difference? On basis of the analysis to the differences in the description of the two Rosynas, the paper aims to have a better understanding of the status and artistic charisma of the characters. Furthermore, two pieces of classic aria are taken as instance to have a thorough analysis to the characters, which in turn reflects the two composers' characters in musical creation and showed the artistic value of the two immortal masterpieces.The two composers created an aesthetic charisma of comical opera in both audio and vision with their unique understanding to music and exquisite creation skills. Integrated with the academic study, the paper makes a comparison in singing performance between the two pieces to achieve a real integration of theory and practice and try to give a full expression to the value of the paper.
