Is there a specific title for the overture to "Marriage of Figaro?"?!
Question: I am looking for it on Yahoo Music so I can buy the MP3. Is there a specific title for it or is it just labeled as an overture?

No. It's just "Overture", the only piece before the formal Acts begin. It should be track #1 on any performance album.
If you can't find it in English on Yahoo Music (which is strange! it should be available with English titles and track listings everywhere), you can search "Le Nozze di Figaro", composition # K. 492.
There's a bunch here on Yahoo

You're right though it is very confusing. I think with the above info you'll get the right one. The sale of music as Mp3 "tracks" really is el stinkola for classical music.
Being facetious 'the egg timer tune' The theory being that if played at the ideal speed it will last for exactly the time needed to boil the ideal egg.
Seriously, just search whatever site you use to download:- Mozart>Marriage of Figaro. The Overture will probably be listed as the first 'song'
It does not have a title. It is called overture.
