It follows the plot surrounding Figaro and Susanna as they prepare for their wedding, complicated by the intentions of their employer, Count Almaviva, who pursues Susanna. Additional characters include the lovesick pageboy Cherubino and Marcellina, to whom Figaro owes a debt that could force him into marriage if unpaid.
