Or ''Le nozze de Figaro'', in the original Italian.
 
A'''''The Marriage of Figaro''''' is a comic, [[Sitcom]]-like [[Opera]] by [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]. 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 his wife, Countess Rosina. To achieve this, he is threatening to reinstate a [[Droit du seigneur|feudal custom]] which [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|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.
