Count Almaviva is walking on suitors' feet. He would like to win the heart of the self-confident Rosina if there wasn't one problem: her money-hungry guardian Dr Bartolo has his own plans to marry his wealthy protégé and locks Rosina up. Good advice is expensive and Figaro, the enterprising barber of Seville, is happy to pay for it in hard cash. Figaro uses ludicrous schemes to trick the lovers through all the entanglements into marital bliss. Rossini's turbulent endurance race to the dream wedding is a true opera classic, also thanks to the famous "Figaro" aria.

The beautiful Arabella doesn't want to make a commitment until she meets the right man, "who will one day stand before her".
