Le Nozze Di Figaro at La Monnaie

The ‘mad day’ of the wedding of Susanna and Figaro, employees of, respectively, the Countess and Count Almaviva. The latter will do anything to seduce the young fiancée and possess her before she gets married, but his plans are thwarted by Figaro and by the adolescent Cherubino, who flits around the women. In the end, Susanna and the Countess untangle this web of romantic intrigue and contrive a cunning challenge to male domination.
