Their valet Figaro is going to marry their servant Suzanne. Seduced by the pretty maid, the Count decides to exercise, before the wedding, his ‘master’s privilege’. As the young Cherubino discovers the first commotions of love, Figaro prepares a plan in order to show his master how ridiculous these practices of a bygone age are.
