Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro: a beginner's guide
Excellent timing. The peasants from the estate arrive, and Figaro tries to make the Count swear he'll leave Susanna alone so she can save herself for the wedding night. The Count promises to make a formal gesture officially renouncing his 'feudal right' later on. In the mean time, he publicly forgives Cherubino, but sends him to Seville for army duty so he can't get into any more trouble with the ladies. Picture: Robert Workman
