Form: 4 acts and 28 songs, hi opera.
Act I: The attic of the Earl's residence is in the room.
We saw a big room that was a little messy, with several boxes in the middle, and the tables and chairs were not properly placed. It turns out that this is the barber Figaro and the countess's confidant maid Susanna, who is busy preparing for her wedding. Figaro is arranging furniture, while Susanna wants to put the wedding basket in front of the mirror.
They quietly avoided the earl's attention, and they planned the future. Susanna told Figaro to be especially careful about the count's actions, because his master Earl Alma Viva was hostile to Susanna. She said, "Why did the master use this room not far from his bedroom as their new house? It is very doubtful. "
At this time, Susanna left because of the call of the Countess Lin Xiawei, and Figaro stayed alone on the stage. He waved his fist at the imaginary Long Live Alma and sang, "Well, Long Live Alma! If you really want to take advantage, (Earl Almaviva tried to restore the "first night right" of nobles to serfs) I am not easy to mess with, and I will do everything possible to deal with you ... "Figaro left the room after singing.
Dr. Basolo and his old housekeeper, Marcelina, took to the stage. Mahelina had an old contract in her hand and read it to Dr. Bassolo: "I borrowed your money. If I can't repay it, I will marry you. " This is written by Figaro. It turns out that the old woman likes Figaro very much. She was very worried when she heard that he was going to get married soon. She invited Dr. Bassolo to help, hoping to find a reason to stop the wedding that night.
The doctor is willing to take this opportunity to help the old housekeeper. The doctor sang an aria full of revenge and went out. Susanna came back, and when she saw Maxilina in the room, she was full of anger. So Mahirina and Susanna started a war of words. This is a very humorous duet. As a result, Mahirina couldn't beat Susanna, and she came out in Susanna's smug laughter.
At this time, the servant Kirubino came over in dismay. He is a fickle young man who likes any woman (the role is played by a soprano). He sang a passionate aria to Susanna: "Ah! Passion possessed me. It turned out that he was caught by his master when he had a tryst with the gardener's daughter Babarina last night. Master flew into a rage and said that he would drive him away, which made the cherub not sleep well all night. He wants to ask Susan to intercede with the hostess and ask Master not to fire him. Looking at this little guy's sad face, Susan thought it was funny and teased him. Suddenly came the voice of the master outside the door. Rubino was frightened. Susan curled him up in a big armchair and then covered him with a blanket.
The count didn't know there was anyone in the house. After running into Susanna's room, he completely exposed his lascivious nature. He drooled over Susanna, told her to hide on the right, and at the same time stopped him from sitting in the chair with the little angel hidden. Then came Basilio's voice, and the count panicked. He hid behind the big armchair, where the little angel hid.
Basilio is a dirty dog who speaks ill of others behind their backs. When he came in, thinking that there was no one in the room, he assured Susanna that the countess and her servant rubino seemed to be having an affair recently. Hearing this, the count who was hiding behind the chair jumped out and asked Basilio to tell the truth quickly. So they sang a trio: "The count cursed Chedjou Pino, saying that he saw him flirting with Babarina last night, and at the same time, he accidentally lifted the sheets gently. This is a bad thing, and Chebino has been exposed. The count was mad, while rubino trembled with fear. After a period of chaos, Chedjou Pino was fired. Suddenly the door opened and Figaro led a large group of people into the room. Everyone has flowers in their hands. They praised the count loudly because he announced the abolition of the "first night right" enjoyed by slaves when they got married. The count knew this was Figaro's plan. I reluctantly accepted everyone's praise: "This is what I should do. Come to Figaro's wedding tonight. "
After the crowd sang a joyful chorus, they left. The count threw all his anger at poor Cupino: "Go to the army at once!" " With that, he left angrily.
The little angel looked sad and didn't know what to do. Figaro not only did not sympathize with him, but also sang gloatingly: "You don't have to be a lover anymore, and you don't have to talk about love every day. Don't comb your hair and spray perfume, and don't be full of love affairs. You should forget serenades and love letters, and throw away Red Velvet hats and flower scarves. A man should be a soldier, raising his head and standing up, with a saber on his waist and a musket on his shoulder. You will be a brave soldier in the future ... "Chedjou Pino has no interest in what Figaro said, but he is still making a miserable face and feeling depressed.
Act II: In the countess's room.
When the curtain rose, Lin Xiawei lamented that she had been abandoned by her husband. She prayed sadly, "Dear God, please have pity on me"! Susanna walked into the arena, followed by Figaro. The three of them discussed their own plans and tried to punish the count together, which would not only make the count change his mind, but also protect his happiness. The plan is divided into three steps: first, forge a secret report, warn the count that his wife is going to date her lover, teach him to pay more attention to people's actions and make him jealous. On the other hand, the little angel dressed as a young girl, and body double dressed as Count Susanna had a tryst in the garden at night. Finally, the countess went to the garden to "catch a rape", which made the count feel ashamed. Chedjou Bino, the footman, is singing one of the most outstanding arias in the play. "Do you know what love is?" Do you know what love is? Which one of you understands my feelings? I want to tell you everything. I can't say this wonderful feeling, but I feel my heart churning. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am sad, and love burns in my chest like fire ... "This lovely song touched the countess and Susanna. They told Chedjou Pino about Figaro's plan and asked him to do me a favor before he left. Chebino certainly won't object, because then he can attend Susanna's wedding and get close to the gardener's daughter Babarina. At this time, Susanna brought a beautiful dress and put it on the little angel. The three of them acted according to the plan.
Soon, the count came to the lady's door, knocked on the door and asked to go in. Lin Xiawei let the little angel hide in the bedroom next door, and Susanna also hid behind the curtain. Lin Xiawei opened the door, and it was her husband Alma Viva. He was shaking with anger with a snitch letter in his hand. He asked his wife, "Why did it take so long to open the door? Is there a person hiding here? " The lady deliberately replied, "No." The count didn't believe it. He pushed open the bedroom door, but he couldn't open it. It turned out that Cupino locked it from the inside. The frustrated count said he would find a tool to break down the door.
During the absence of the Earl and Lady, Pinocchio rubino ran out of the bedroom. Susanna told him to run away. However, all the doors in this room were closed, so they had to open the balcony door. Kay Loubinaux came into the room with her heart beating sideways. Susan ran into the bedroom and locked the door from the inside.
The count came back with his wife, with a big hammer and pliers in his hand, and slapped the door angrily. However, when the door opened, it really surprised him: the person inside was Susan. The countess breathed a sigh of relief. In turn, she accused the count of being too distrustful. Embarrassed, the count quickly apologized to his wife. Antonio, the gardener, hurried over. He reported to his wife that a man had just jumped off her balcony and knocked off a flowerpot. Hearing this, the count became suspicious again. Fortunately, Figaro arrived in time and said that it was him who jumped just now. He wanted to meet his fiancee in her room, but he was embarrassed to be caught by the count, so he ran away. As he spoke, he pretended to be limping and said that he had just sprained his ankle.
At this time, Mahilina, Dr. Bassolo and Basilio, the music teacher, all came. They proudly announced that Figaro had not paid back the money, and now he must fulfill his promise: to marry Mahilina. The witness is Dr. Bassolo.
The news made everyone present look different: Masirina and the doctor gloated, Basilio and the count gloated, poor Susan, the compassionate countess, Figaro was at a loss-singing a ridiculous septet.
The scene in the third act is in the living room of the earl's house.
The count paced up and down the hall. He thinks everything is strange.
When Susanna came, he said to Susanna, "Don't think about marrying Figaro again. It is an irreversible fact that he must marry Marcelina. Susanna was very sad, and the count took the opportunity to seduce her, saying that he loved her very much and invited her to meet in the garden at night. This suggestion is just what Susanna wants. Susanna agreed, and the count left the living room very happily.
As soon as Figaro appeared, Susanna quickly told him that she had completely mastered the master, so the lawsuit was sure to win. Say that finish, Susanna left. I didn't expect these words to be heard by the count. He sang a solemn allegro aria: "I lost my happiness, but the footman got it." How did this happen ... ".
Lin Xiawei, she waited for Susanna and agreed to exchange clothes here so as to dress up as Susanna. Susanna has been slow to come, and she has lost her patience. Lin Xiawei was very sad: it was really embarrassing to have to play tricks on her husband with the maid. But what can be done? She would rather do this in order to get her husband back to her. Recalling her sweet love, she sang a sad aria: "Where have all the sweet and happy days gone?" ? Where are those false vows? Why does everything turn into tears and sadness for me? Won't happy memories fade from my heart? ..... ",then she understood," only my chastity can bring hope and change his ungrateful heart. "
Figaro, Ma Serena, doctor Bassolo and judge guzman walked into the living room together. After they sat down, the tense trial began. Judge guzman asked Marce Lina: Do you want money or important people? Mahirina said she wanted someone, and she wanted Figaro to marry her. The judge announced, "Pay your debts or marry her." This matter seems to be non-negotiable, but unexpectedly, people have found an unexpected result: it turns out that Mahirina is Figaro's mother, Bassolo is his father, and the three of them embrace each other warmly. Celebrate family reunion. The count and the judge were dumbfounded. Susanna, who came one step late, said happily after hearing the news: I am not afraid of what the master will do! After the interesting sextet, the count and the judge left.
The count and gardener Antonio came on stage again. Antonio complained that the annoying little angel had not joined the army. He found his hat in his daughter Babarina's room. Said he was wandering around here disguised as a woman. The more the count listened, the angrier he became. He said he must catch him. These two people finally also.
Lin Xiawei and Susanna took to the stage. They stood out of sight of the count and discussed how to make a new plan tonight. Lin Xiawei dictated that Susanna wrote a letter to the count, saying that Susanna would wait for him in the garden at dusk. They sang a very beautiful aria: "ode to the west wind: There will be a sweet breeze in the pine forest tonight …" The letter was written. Lin Xiawei took a hairpin from her hair, asked Susan to pin it on the letter, and asked her to write down the words "If you agree to the date, please give it back to me". When they heard someone coming, they hid the letter in Susanna's arms.
A group of village girls came here, led by the gardener's daughter and the little angel's lover Babarina. They came to present flowers to the lady. They sang in unison and presented flowers to the countess. The lady accepted a bunch of flowers from the cherub and said to Susanna, "Who is this man? Why does it look familiar? Just then, the angry count came with Antonio. They saw at a glance that this strange-looking girl was none other than Kirubono disguised as a woman. And caught the little angel, Babarina begged the count to give her the little angel as her husband. The count promised nothing. Chedjou Pino ran away in a panic, Babarina and the girls left, and everyone was going to prepare for Figaro's wedding.
Figaro stepped onto the stage, and the people attending the wedding came in, and the ceremony was about to begin. Susanna took the opportunity to give the love letter to the count just now. He was overjoyed and understood the meaning of the letter. The count accidentally pricked his finger with a sealing needle, so he pulled it out and threw it on the ground. He didn't mind announcing the banquet, and everyone sang a song in praise of the count.
Act IV: Gardens in the Castle
Babarina was ordered by the count to look for a pin that had just been dropped by the count with a lamp. She sang, "What a unlucky pin! I can't find it. Where will it fall? " ……"。 It turned out that the count saw the words on the note and realized that there was another hairpin. He ordered Babarina to find it, otherwise, she wouldn't want to marry Chebino. At this time, Figaro and his mother, Maxilina, took to the stage. They saw Babarina and asked her what she was doing. Babarina said honestly that the count asked him to find the hairpin Susan gave him.
Hearing this, Figaro was full of doubts: this is not his plan! Potatoes ... He took a hairpin from Mahirina's head and handed it to Babarina, saying it was Susan's hairpin. Take it to the master quickly. After receiving the pin, she first told Susanna and the little angel, and then went to look for a job with her master.
At this point, Figaro was furious and said to his mother, "All women are unfaithful. He must take revenge. Say that finish angrily left. But Mahlina doesn't believe that Susanna is a woman in easy virtue (she has learned about Susanna's great efforts to maintain a happy marriage), so she decided to tell Susanna at once. In case she gets hurt. After singing an interesting aria, she also left in a hurry. It's getting dark. Babarina quietly walked into the garden with a basket. She came to send apples, pears and cakes to the little angel hiding in the garden.
Figaro brought Basilio and Bartolo to the stage. He asked the two men to help him, hiding in the corner of the garden first. When he heard Figaro's whistle, everyone rushed out of the hiding place together and caught the hateful earl and the damn Susanna. Basilio understood Figaro and hid in the dark with Bartolo. Figaro was in great pain. He sighed, "at this moment, I began to realize the stupidity of being a husband, a traitor!" ..... "He heard someone coming and hid in the garden at night.
Susanna went on stage to exchange clothes with the countess. Finding Figaro hiding to spy on them, she deliberately sang a song that made him anxious: "The wonderful moment has come, leaning in the arms of my lover, how happy!" Now that my mood is no longer depressed, who can interfere with my happiness? Ah, look at the charming scenery around. Everything here is full of love. The night is quiet, and the happy moment is coming. Come on, honey! Through the green Woods, come on, come on, I'll give you a rose ring and my heart! "After the song, Suzanne also hid and disappeared. Only the countess stood in the light in Susanna's clothes.
Figaro was very angry He sang, "People of the world, open your eyes!" ! Women are roses with thorns, charming foxes and smiling bears. Don't be cheated by them again! "When someone came, he quickly hid.
It's an angel. He wanted to find Babarina, but he saw the countess disguised as Susanna. So he wanted to "treat her well in Doby" and went forward to kiss her happily. But at this time, the count came to the garden, saw the little angel flirting with Susanna, and slapped the little unlucky guy away.
Now, the count finally got his chance. He was filled with joy and said some sweet words to Susanna. Because the garden was dark, no one else could be seen. At the other end of the garden, Figaro could not help but appear at this time. At first, he thought it was the countess in front of him Later, after listening to her voice, he recognized Susanna's makeup, so he made a mistake and was angry with Susanna. So, he also came to "Miss" for sweet talk. Susanna is jealous of fire and shows her true colors. Figaro smiled smugly. The count appeared again, and Susanna quickly resumed her lady's posture, pulling Figaro into the pavilion on the right. When the count saw this scene, he was surprised and angry. He shouted for help and quickly came to catch him. Figaro blew a whistle, and the doctor Bassolo, the music teacher Basilio and the gardener Antonio all ran out. They also lit up the garden with torches in their hands. When the count saw all the people coming, he angrily opened the small door of the pavilion on the right and called the adulterer and prostitute out. Unexpectedly, Chedjou Pino, Babarina, Mahirina, Susanna and Figaro came out from the inside, but there was no wife. Just as the count was in a daze, the countess came out of the pavilion on the left. The count has just lost all his prestige. What if he is talking about love with his wife? He was embarrassed to confess to her again. Finally, the lights came back, and the count approved the barber Figaro's wedding. It ended in a joyful chorus.
