SUMMARY

The dashing Count Almaviva takes on multiple personas in his quest to win the hand of Rosina, a young woman in the care of an elderly man, Bartolo. Bartolo schemes to marry Rosina and collect her dowry when she comes of age.

With the help of his clever associate Figaro, the Count (known to Rosina as “Lindoro”) makes every effort to get close to the young signorina by first disguising himself as a soldier and then as a music tutor. When Bartolo finally uncovers Figaro and the Count Almaviva’s plans, Bartolo denounces the Count and sends for a notary to wed Rosina himself. Convinced of the Count’s duplicity, Rosina agrees to marry Bartolo. An elated Bartolo rushes off to have the Count arrested.

With Bartolo gone, the Count finds his way back to Rosina. She comes to understand that Lindoro is really the Count Almaviva and that Bartolo has been scheming to secure her fortune. The notary arrives and marries the Count and Rosina. When, at last, Bartolo storms in with the police, it is too late. He accepts the marriage and everyone blesses the couple with wishes of love and happiness.
