| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) | comment |
A comic, Sitcom-like play by Pierre Caron de Beaumarchais ("Le Mariage de Figaro" in the original French), adapted into an opera by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte ("Le Nozze di Figaro" in the original Italian). The story is about the attempts of Figaro (Count Almaviva's manservant and formerly The Barber of Seville) and Susanna (the Countess's maid) to get married. It being a Romantic Comedy, there are many obstacles: Count Almaviva wants to seduce Susanna, much to the dismay of both Susanna (who is happily engaged to Figaro) and his wife, Countess Rosina. To achieve this, he is threatening to reinstate the feudal "Droit du Seigneur" custom, which gives the local lord first dibs with a woman on her wedding night. Rosina and Susanna, who are close friends, conspire to expose his lechery. Figaro is in debt to a middle-aged woman named Marcellina; she's trying to force him to marry her in lieu of payment. She has the aid of her former employer Dr. Bartolo, who had been competing for Rosina's hand himself back in the day (and got her dowry as a consolation prize), and is also helped by the gossip-mongering music teacher Don Basilio. Cherubino, a teenaged page boy (always played by a girl), is also trying to get his hands on Susanna, on his godmother the Countess, on the gardener's daughter Barbarina, and basically on any other female within a 500-yard radius. Ah, young hormones. Susanna and Rosina try to weaponize him by... dressing him up as a girl. This is mostly Played for Laughs, but the Count is dangerously territorial, so it can go Mood Whiplash at times.Of course, since this is comic opera, everything works out in the end. (And yes, it's still hilarious today, if it's played right.)The play is a sequel to Beaumarchais's The Barber of Seville, which tells how Figaro entered the Count's employ after helping overcome the difficulties surrounding the Count's own attempt to Marry for Love. The Barber of Seville was also adapted into opera several times, most notably 30 years after The Marriage of Figaro, by a different composer (Rossini) and a different lyricist. Essentially it is a Continuation Fic in the other chronological direction. As mentioned on the Barber page, there is a third play in the series, but nobody cares about it anymore.Figaro was unusual for being essentially a Lower-Deck Episode: the Official Couple aren't nobility or anywhere near the top of the power structure. Of course, this makes up for the fact that Figaro wasn't the star of Barber, even though it's named after him. | |

| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_1ab65185 | comment |
That Reminds Me of a Song: Cherubino supposedly wrote "Voi Che Sapete" as a love song for, well, whichever woman he's in love with at the moment. He's eventually persuaded to sing it to the Countess and Susanna. | |

Chekhov's Gun: In their first scene in the play, Marceline and Bartholo mention that they had an affair long before the events of The Barber of Seville which led to the out-of-wedlock birth of a son they gave up. The opera omits this scene and lets the Contrived Coincidence stand on its own. | |

Closet Shuffle | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_3d23c418 | comment |
Closet Shuffle: The infamously flirtatious servant Cherubino comes to visit Susanna to tell her all about his troubles after hitting on the count's wife. Then the count comes, and since she doesn't want to be caught alone with Cherubino, she hides him under her bed. The count is there to tell her about all the troubles he's having with Cherubino hitting on his wife (and he's there to hit on Susanna, too), and he's in the middle of this when the music teacher, Basilio, decides to come visit her to tell her all about the local news (also mainly Cherubino's exploits)- and Susanna doesn't want to get caught alone with the count, either, so she hides him as well. Of course, by the end of the song, all are discovered. And later, when Cherubino goes to visit the Countess, the Count comes knocking then, too, and the Countess hides him in her closet, and tells the Count it's Susanna, her maid. The Count doesn't believe her, and they argue over it until he's about to tear down the door... and then the closet opens and out walks Susanna - she and Cherubino switched, and Cherubino left through the window. Then the gardener comes to complain about window jumpers... | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: Right. Here we go. Figaro and Susanna are happy together and about to be married. The Count and the Countess are already married, but aren't happy. The Countess still loves the Count, but he'd rather be off reinstating the droit de seigneur with Susanna (and it's implied he's taken full advantage of this same right in the past with other women). Marcellina has a weird crush on Figaro up until she learns he's her son, and she used to have a thing going on with Bartolo, which is then reignited when they find out they still have a child. Cherubino is a heterosexual male in the middle of puberty and so by definition wants to sleep with every female he sees, but especially Susanna, Barbarina and the Countess. Barbarina reciprocates, and the Countess reciprocates in the sequel. Bartolo still doesn't seem to have quite got over his crush on the Countess from the first play. Oh, and Barbarina also seems to have once had a thing going on with the Count, but now she only loves him "like a kitten", as opposed to her more erotic love for Cherubino. And... the Count seems to have rediscovered his feelings for his wife by the end. Got all that? | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the play, when Suzanne shows up at Figaro's trial with the money to buy him out of his marriage contract, she explains that she borrowed the money from the Countess. In the opera, the explanation is omitted, and the scene is followed by an aria where the Countess specifically mentions that she hasn't talked to Susanna yet. Some productions fix this by moving the Countess's aria to before the trial scene. | |

Recursive Crossdressing | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_69c5fb9e | comment |
Recursive Crossdressing: Cherubino, a male role being played by a woman, ends up disguised as a girl at one point. This leads to the wonderful moment of a female actor, in-character as a male, trying to walk like a woman and instead striding about manfully. In a dress. While Rosina instructs "him" in how to impersonate a female. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Count Almaviva compared to The Barber of Seville. In that play/opera, he asks Figaro's help to (successfully) romance Rosina. Fast forward to Figaro, and he's trying to steal his right hand man's fiancee. Dude, really? | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: Played straight with the Count (though he's more of a Jerkass / Jerk with a Heart of Gold than outright evil), but averted with the Countess. This was a rather daring plot point for its day, as not only is the Count clearly in the wrong, he's outwitted and shamed by his servants and publicly asks forgiveness. Pretty edgy stuff for a comedy in the days before The French Revolution. | |

Speech Impediment | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_98591d23 | comment |
Speech Impediment: In the original Beaumarchais play, the judge Don Guzman Brid'oison has a pronounced stutter. His counterpart in the opera, Don Curzio, is traditionally played this way too; Michael Kelly, who created the part, recalled that Mozart told him not to stutter during the big Act 3 sextet, but relented after Kelly managed to stutter while staying on the beat. | |

Cross-Cast Role | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_985d3ad0 | comment |
Crosscast Role: Beaumarchais specified that the role of Chérubin should only be played by "a young and very pretty woman." Cherubino, his operatic counterpart, is played by a soprano or mezzo-soprano. | |

Love at First Sight | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_a8dcb1d7 | comment |
Love at First Sight: Cherubino, with every female he sees. Every. His biggest (and longest-lasting) crush is on the Countess, but he considers her "too high above him" to do more than gaze at her longingly during dinners. First Girl Wins in more ways than one — he marries Barbarina (the first girl he mentions), who he was caught with in her room, but in the third play, he has a child with the Countess (his first crush), who gave in at some point. Since he went off to get himself killed in a war after she told him that they can never be together again, one can safely assume that he didn't handle being a rejected Ladykiller in Love too well... | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| The Marriage of Figaro (Theatre) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: At the end, the Countess forgives her husband for trying to blackmail a young woman into having an affair with him. To be fair, the Count does have to suffer a Humiliation Conga and publicly ask forgiveness in front of all his servants, but after that he's forgiven simply for the asking. With the exception of Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute, nearly all of Mozart's Operas end with the antagonist being unconditionally forgiven of any wrong-doing (though they usually never succeed in their attempts to do wrong, anyway). | |
