    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.

    Sir John Falstaff plans to acquire money by wooing two wealthy matrons, Alice Ford and Meg Page. He sends identical love letters to them. They, Alice’s daughter, Nanette, and their friend, Mistress Quickly, decide to punish Falstaff by arranging a rendezvous between Alice and Falstaff. Bardolph and Pistol tell Mr. Ford of Falstaff's plan and he believes his wife is unfaithful. When Falstaff attempts to woo Alice, Mistress Quickly announces Meg's arrival. Falstaff hides behind a screen. When Ford arrives to search the house, the women hide Falstaff in a hamper of dirty laundry which they throw out of the window.
Another meeting is arranged between Alice and Falstaff at midnight in Windsor Park. He is to dress as the antlered Black Hunter. The other women will dress as spirits. Mistress Quickly overhears Ford promise to wed his daughter Nanette to Dr. Caius that night and that she will be dressed as the Fairy Queen. However, Nanette loves Fenton.
Falstaff meets Alice in the moonlit park. The spirits rush in and torment Falstaff and he begs for mercy. When the joke is over, he says it was well deserved. Ford then announces that he will marry Dr. Cajus to the Fairy Queen and a second couple asks to be married. After the weddings, he learns that Bardolph has changed into the Fairy Queen’s costume and the second couple was Fenton and Nanette. Knowing that he was not the only one tricked, Falstaff proclaims it a good jest and everyone shares a hearty laugh.
