On the morning of Figaro's wedding to Suzanne, the servant discovers his master, Count Almaviva, wants to reinstate an abolished feudal right. What follows is a frenzied day of schemes, disguises, and cascading surprises. The play's bold critique of aristocratic privilege made it a controversial precursor to the French Revolution.
