Figaro, a valet at the court of the Count Almaviva, and Susanna, a lady-in-waiting, wish to marry. This should be quite easy if it were not for those who want to prevent this marriage... the Count, who tries to assert his feudal right towards Susanna, will at the end of the day be the loser. Figaro, however, who at first believes he is being deceived by Susanna, discovers true love.
