    Figaro and Susanna, servants of Count Almaviva, are to be married but Susanna suspects the Count wants to seduce her. Cherubino, a page, tells Susanna he loves women, especially the Countess. When the Count arrives to proposition Susanna, Cherubino hides, but is found by the Count. The Count punishes Cherubino by sending him to his regiment, but the Countess and Susanna disguise him as a girl so he can stay with his girlfriend Barbarina. When they hear the Count arrive, Cherubino hides in a closet. The Count, suspicious of his wife, determines to open the door, but Susanna manages to change places with Cherubino. Marcellina, a housekeeper, alleges that Figaro borrowed money from her on a promise of marriage but is found to be to be Figaro's mother. Eventually, the Count sees the problems of his flirtations and Figaro and Susanna are married at last.
