19. Cherubino and Barbarina
A chorus of peasants (including Cherubino, dressed up as a woman) arrives to sing to the Countess. The Count, discovering Cherubino, is furious once more. But Barbarina, the gardener's daughter, asks for Cherubino's hand in marriage, embarrassing the Count by declaring he once offered her anything she wanted. In an attempt to save face, the Count agrees, and lets Cherubino stay. Picture: Robert Workman
