Opera buffa by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart / Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte based on the comedy "La Folle Journée ou Le Mariage de Figaro" (1778) by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais / In Italian song and German.

An overbearing nobleman and his shrewd servant, a steadfast countess and her clever maid, a pubescent youth and more or less skillful schemers in between: The panopticon of characters in Le nozze di Figaro shows first and foremost a picture of 18th century society - and yet every member of the audience is able to recognize themselves in at least one of the characters drawn with unerring knowledge of human nature.

The comedy is complicated in the simplest possible way - just like in "real life": Count Almaviva loves Susanna, the chambermaid of Countess Rosina Almaviva, who still loves the Count and can no longer stand his affairs. Susanna, however, loves the Count's valet Figaro, who in turn is loved by the older Marcellina. When Susanna and Figaro want to marry.
