The valet Figaro and the chambermaid Susanna are looking forward to their wedding day, but there is a catch: their employer, Count Almaviva, harbours dishonourable intentions towards the bride-to-be.
With its many surprising twists and turns, the plot of Mozart's comic opera will never cease to amaze and delight you. Come for the music, and stay for the hilarious turbulence with reversed gender roles that unfold in the Almaviva household over the course of one crazy day when the world turns upside down. Royal Opera House music director Antonio Pappano conducts a truly international cast in David McVicar's timeless production.
