The play was first performed in 1598 and has since become one of Shakespeare's most popular works.

The play was adapted into a film in 1993, directed by Kenneth Branagh, and featured a soundtrack composed by Patrick Doyle. The film premiered on May 7, 1993, at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in the United States on July 2, 1993. The soundtrack for 'Much Ado About Nothing' features a mix of classical and contemporary music, with Doyle's original compositions serving as the backbone of the score. The soundtrack includes a total of 19 tracks, with each track corresponding to a specific scene or moment in the film. The soundtrack is divided into three main movements, each of which corresponds to a different aspect of the film's narrative. The first movement, titled "Overture," features a lively and upbeat orchestral piece that sets the tone for the film's romantic comedy elements. The second movement, titled "Love in Messina," features a mix of classical and contemporary music, with Doyle's original compositions serving as the centerpiece. The third movement, titled "The Wedding," features a more traditional orchestral sound, with a focus on strings and woodwinds. Overall, the soundtrack for 'Much Ado About Nothing' is characterized by its use of classical and contemporary music, as well as its ability to capture the film's romantic comedy elements.
