The action takes place during one crazy day in the castle of Count Almaviva, whose households manage to weave a dizzying intrigue with weddings, courts, adoption, jealousy and reconciliation in this short time. The heart of the intrigue is Figaro, the housekeeper of the count. He is an incredibly witty and wise man, the closest assistant and adviser to the count at the usual time, but now falling out of favor. The reason for the count’s discontent is that Figaro decides to marry the charming girl Suzanne, the maid of the countess, and the wedding should take place on the same day, everything goes fine until Susanna talks about the count’s idea: to restore the lord’s shameful right to virginity of the bride, threatening to upset the wedding and rob them of the dowry. Figaro is shocked by the similar baseness of his master, who, not having time to appoint him housekeeper, is about to send him to the embassy in London by courier to calmly visit Susanne. Figaro swears to circle the voluptuous count around his finger, to conquer Suzanne and not lose the dowry. According to the bride, intrigue and money are his element.
Figaro's wedding is threatened by two more enemies. Old doctor Bartolo, from whom the Count abducted the bride with the help of the cunning Figaro, found the opportunity, through his housekeeper Marcelina, to avenge the offenders. Marcelina is going through a court to force Figaro to fulfill a debt obligation: either to return her money, or to marry her. The count, of course, will support her in an effort to interfere with their wedding, but her own wedding will be arranged thanks to this. Once in love with his wife, the count, three years after marriage, got a little cooler, but mad and blind jealousy took the place of love, and out of boredom he drags around for beauties all over the district. Marcelina is head over heels in love with Figaro, which is understandable: he does not know how to get angry, always in a good mood, sees only joys in the present and thinks of the past as little as the future. In fact, marrying Marcelin is the direct duty of Dr. Bartolo. Their child was bound by marriage, the fruit of forgotten love, stolen by gypsies in infancy.
The countess, however, does not feel completely abandoned, she has a fan - a page of his excellency Cherubino. This is a charming little prankster, going through a difficult period of growing up, already aware of himself as an attractive young man. The change in worldview completely confused the teenager, he takes turns caring for all the women in his field of vision and secretly in love with the countess, his godmother. The frivolous behavior of Cherubino displeases the count, and he wants to send him to his parents. A boy in despair goes to complain to Suzanne. But during the conversation, the count enters Suzanne’s room, and Cherubino hides behind the chair in horror. The count already offers Susanne money in exchange for a date before the wedding. Suddenly they hear the voice of Basil, a musician and a pimp at the Count’s court, he is approaching the door, the Count, in fear that he will be caught with Suzanne, is hiding in the chair where Cherubino is already sitting. The boy runs out and climbs into the chair with his feet, and Susanna covers him with a dress and stands in front of the chair. Basil is looking for the count and at the same time takes the opportunity to persuade Susanne on the offer of his master. He hints at the favor of many ladies to Cherubino, including her and the countess. Overcome by jealousy, the count gets up from his chair and orders to immediately send off the boy, trembling in the meantime under his shelter. He pulls the dress and discovers a small page under it. The Count is sure that Susanna had a date with Cherubino. Enraged by the fury that overheard his delicate conversation with Suzanne, he forbids her to marry Figaro. At that very moment a crowd of smartly dressed villagers appeared with Figaro at the head. The cunning man brought in the vassals of the count, so that they solemnly thanked their lord for the cancellation of the seigneur’s right to the virginity of the bride. Everyone praises the virtue of the count, and he has no choice but to curse Figaro's cunning to confirm his decision. They also beg him to forgive Cherubino, the count agrees, he produces a young man as an officer in his regiment, with the condition that he immediately leave to serve in distant Catalonia. Cherubino is desperate to part with his godmother, and Figaro advises him to play the departure, and then quietly return to the castle. In revenge for Susannah’s intransigence, the count is going to support Marceline at the trial and thus disrupt Figaro’s wedding.
Figaro, meanwhile, decides to act with no less consistency than his excellency: moderate his appetites for Suzanne, inspiring suspicion that his wife is being encroached. Through Basil, the count receives an anonymous note stating that a fan will look for a date with the countess during the ball. The countess is indignant that Figaro is not ashamed to play with the honor of a decent woman. But Figaro assures that he will not allow himself this with any woman: he is afraid to get to the point. Bring the count to white heat - and he is in their hands. Instead of having a good time with someone else’s wife, he will be forced to follow along on his own, and in the presence of the countess, he will not dare to interfere with their marriage. Only Marcelina needs to be wary, so Figaro orders Suzanne to schedule the count a date in the garden in the evening. Instead of a girl, Cherubino in her suit will go there. While his excellency is on the hunt, Susanna and the countess must dress and comb Cherubino, and then Figaro will hide him. Cherubino comes, he is dressed up, and touching hints, talking about mutual sympathy, slip between him and the countess. Suzanne absented herself from the pins, and at that moment the count returns from the hunt prematurely and demands that the countess let him in. Obviously, he received a note composed by Figaro, and beside himself with rage. If he finds a half-dressed Cherubino, he will shoot him on the spot. The boy is hiding in the toilet room, and the countess, in horror and confusion, runs to open the count. The count, seeing the confusion of his wife and hearing the noise in the toilet room, wants to break open the door, although the countess assures him that Susanna changes clothes there. Then the count goes after the tools and takes his wife with him. Suzanne opens the dressing room, releases Cherubino, barely alive from fear, and takes his place; the boy jumps out of the window. The count returns, and the countess in despair tells him about a page, begging to spare the child. The count opens the door and, to his amazement, finds there a laughing Susanne. Suzanne explains that they simply decided to play it, and Figaro himself wrote that note. Having mastered herself, the countess blames him for coldness, baseless jealousy, and unworthy behavior. A stunned count in sincere repentance begs him to forgive. Figaro appears, women make him recognize himself as the author of an anonymous letter. Everyone is ready to make peace, as the gardener arrives and talks about a man who has fallen out of the window and has crushed all the flower beds. Figaro hurries to compose a story, when, frightened by the count's anger over the letter, he jumped out the window, hearing that the count had suddenly interrupted the hunt. But the gardener shows the paper dropped out of the fugitive’s pocket. This is an order to appoint Cherubino. Fortunately, the countess recalls that the order was missing a seal, Cherubino told her about it. Figaro manages to get out: Kerubino allegedly passed through him an order on which the count should stamp. Meanwhile, Marcelina appears, and the count sees in her a weapon of revenge Figaro. Marcelina demands the trial of Figaro, and the Count invites the local court and witnesses. Figaro refuses to marry Marcelin, as he considers himself a nobleman. True, he does not know his parents, since he was stolen by gypsies. The nobility of its origin proves the sign on his hand in the form of a spatula. At these words, Marcelina rushes to Figaro’s neck and declares him her lost child, the son of Dr. Bartolo. Litigation, therefore, resolves itself, and Figaro, instead of an enraged fury, finds a loving mother. The countess, meanwhile, is going to teach a lesson to the jealous and unfaithful count and decides to go on a date with him herself. Suzanne, under her dictation, writes a note where the count is scheduled to meet in a gazebo in the garden. The count must come to seduce his own wife, and Susanne will receive the promised dowry. Figaro accidentally learns about an appointment, and, not understanding its true meaning, loses his mind from jealousy. He curses his unfortunate fate. In fact, it is not known whose son, stolen by robbers, brought up in their concepts, he suddenly felt disgust for them and decided to follow an honest path, and everywhere he was pushed aside. He studied chemistry, pharmaceuticals, surgery, was a veterinarian, playwright, writer, publicist; as a result, he shut himself up with a wandering barber and began to live a careless life. One fine day, Count Almaviva arrives in Seville, recognizes him, Figaro married him, and now, in gratitude for the fact that he got the Count’s wife, the Count decided to intercept his bride. An intrigue ensues, Figaro in the balance of death, almost marries his own mother, but at this very time it turns out who his parents are. He saw everything and was disappointed in everything for his difficult life. But he sincerely believed and loved Suzanne, and she so cruelly betrayed him, for the sake of some dowry! Figaro hurries to the place of the alleged date to catch them red-handed. And in the dark corner of the park with two arbors, the final scene of a crazy day takes place. Lurking, the Count and Suzanne are waiting for Figaro and the real Suzanne: the first thirsts for revenge, the second - for a funny sight. So they overhear a very instructive conversation between the count and the countess. The Earl admits that he loves his wife very much, but Susanna was pushed by a thirst for diversity. Wives usually think that if they love husbands, that's all. They are so helpful, always helpful, invariably and under any circumstances, that once, to your amazement, instead of feeling bliss again, you begin to feel satiety. Wives simply do not possess the art of supporting attraction in their husbands. The law of nature makes men seek reciprocity, and it is the business of women to be able to keep them. Figaro tries to track down the conversations in the dark and stumbles upon Susanna, dressed in the countess's dress. He still recognizes his Suzanne and, wanting to teach a lesson to the count, plays the scene of seduction. The enraged count hears the whole conversation and convenes the whole house to publicly expose the unfaithful wife. They bring torches, but instead of the countess with an unknown admirer, they find laughing Figaro and Suzanne, and the countess, meanwhile, leaves the gazebo in Susanna’s dress. The shocked count for the second time in a day prays his wife for forgiveness, and the newlyweds receive a beautiful dowry.
