It is Figaro’s and Susanna’s wedding day. But not only the bride and groom are looking forward to it. The Count is more interested in Susanna than in the Countess. She, in turn, mourns her husband’s lack of affection at the same time as she is flattered by Cherubino, who is obsessed with her – and, it seems, every other woman. Le nozze di Figaro is a whirlwind of love, desire and complications, and a portrayal of the demise of the old system.LE NOZZE DI FIGARO
