Short description of the story of the opera composed by W. A. Mozart.

Count and Countess Almaiva lived in a very charming castle near Sevilla.
They enjoyed inviting guests to celebrate extraordinary festivals in the castle.
The Count was known as a "bonvivant" and admirer of beautiful woman.
So he took some chances if there were some.
The Countess loved her husband and accepted his foible with a mild smile.

"Figaro" the servant of the count and "Susanna" the lady's maid
have always been very endeavouring for the well-being of the Count and the Countess.

Figaro and Susanna have been lovers. They planned to get married the same year.

But in Sevilla it was a custom to get the consent in to that marriage from the
so-called employer of the servant and it also was a habit that in this case
the count is enabled to spend the 1. night with the bride.

Figaro thought: "The count is very amazed of Susanna!"
He would take advantage of this situation! Therefore Figaro and Susanna together
with the Countess hatched a sly plan to avoid this right to spend the 1. night with the bride.

Mozart born 1756 in Salzburg wrote the opera in 1786
