Abstract
We propose to present how the socio-political context can influence the success/recognition or failure of a creature as well as the value of an artist, in this case the playwright Pierre-Augustun Caron de Beaumarchais. Its existence and creative activity took place during the French Enlightenment, a period with many ideological and aesthetic changes. If, through the social order, part of his creation was forbidden and accepted after several revisions, full success was through taking over and transfiguration into the work of creation. We especially refer to Figaro’s Wedding and Barber of Seville, comedies that have been translated into opera pages by composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gioacchino Antonio Rossini and Giovanni Paisiello.

Summary
Enlightenment constituted an important turn in the spiritual development of human kind, as a significant victory of reason over mystical-religious mindsets in the Middle Ages. In various periods of time, this ideological movement was the product of a well-defined social and historical environment It emerged as a consequence necessary for the development of capitalist production relationships (a fact which determined its universality), of the ingravescence of contradictions between the bourgeois trying to asserts itself and the feudalism in the process of dissolving, between the exploited ones, on the one hand, and exploiters, on the other hand. Enlightenment presents itself under the general aspect as an ideology and philosophy, which seeks to achieve new forms of political, social and spiritual life, with a predominantly rationalist and anti-feudal nature In Germany Gotthold Ephraim Lessig with Laocoon, Nathan the Wise, and in Italy Metastasio (Pietro Antonio Domenico Trapassi), Giovanni Battista Vico, Carlo Goldoni cu The Tyrants, Hostess (Gheorghiu & Cucu, 1966: pp. 16-27)
