Figaro

All of the honors students got together for a night of culture in which we attended an opera. This was my first time to experience an opera and I was excited to see what it was like.

The Countess and Susanna appear in each other’s clothes (Susanna has now taken Cherubino’s place in the subterfuge) and much mistaken identity ensues in the darkness (Cherubino is there to meet Barbarina too). Eventually Figaro realizes his wife is faithful and the Count realizes he has been tricked. He begs for his wife’s forgiveness, and receives it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
