This “sequel” to Rossini’s The Barber of Seville once again features the beloved Figaro, now Count Almaviva’s valet and fiancé to the maid Susanna. Figaro must outwit his master when he discovers that the Count intends to revive an old custom of “seigniorial right” to anticipate the bridegroom on a servant’s wedding night. But his mission is complicated by the old woman Marcellina, the plotting against the Count of Susanna, herself, and the Countess. Various disguises and general pandemonium ensue before all ends well!
