It was supposed to be the best day for Susanna and Figaro: Their wedding day. But Count Almaviva is stalking the bride.

Don Basilio pesters Susanna with his intercession for the Count, Marcellina wants to sue for the old marriage contract with Figaro and Doctor Bartolo supports her, also out of old anger against Figaro. And then there is the page Cherubino, who is in love with all the women and whom all the women want to have around, preferably disguised as a girl ... Only with the combined forces of Figaro's imagination, Susanna's cleverness and the support of the betrayed countess can this "great day" be brought to a happy end.

In Barrie Kosky's fast-paced production, Susanna and Figaro have to fight their way through the magnificent rooms of Almaviva's palace from the narrow space the Count has allocated them before the outside space finally opens up as a perspective in the fourth act. Barrie Kosky: "We know from Shakespeare that a garden or a forest - especially in the evening - is a democratic space. Anything is possible there."
