The Count [Dale Lyles] sings of how his "sighing turns into flying," while Susanna [Rachel Gordon] is clearly disgusted with having to "play a lover's part." |
| When he overhears Susanna telling Figaro they have won their case without a lawyer, the Count is livid and vows to devote his life to making theirs miserable. |  |
 |
Tired of her husband's unfaithfulness, the Countess [Brenda Barry-Weaver] vows to find "a way of rearranging his ungrateful, cheating heart." |
| At first, with Don Curzio's judgment against him, it looks as if Figaro [Scott Beckom] will have to marry Marcellina [Allison Upshaw Spragin], but then the truth comes out and Bartolo [Craig Humphrey] reveals "Behold, your mother!" |
 |
 |
The Sextet [Matthew Bailey, Jr., Dale Lyles, Rachel Gordon, Allison Upshaw Spragin, Scott Beckom, Craig Humphrey] was, believe it or not, a laugh riot, from the general ridiculousness of the premise to Don Curzio's bugging eyeball to Bartolo's removal of his toupee at "His father!" |
| Susanna takes dictation from the Countess for a note for the Count: she'll meet him in the garden later (but the Countess will be wearing her costume instead.) |  |
 |
The chorus of peasant girls [Andrew Kreeger, Mary Anna Hendley, Shayna Ballou, Caroline Thrasher, Diana Kline, Courtney Wynn] brings roses to their beloved Countess. |
| "Here's your stinkin' officer!" yells Antonio [Lamar Payne] and pulls Cherubino's wig off to general consternation. |  |
 |
When Barbarina [Courtney Wynn] reminds him of his promises "when they were smooching," the Count is forced to abandon his plans to banish Cherubino and to give him to Barbarina as a husband instead. |
| The Wedding Song Lady [Diana Kline] and Barbarina compete in the perfectly dreadful wedding song. |  |
 |
During the reception, Susanna interrupts her foxtrot with the Count to slip him the note inviting him to the assignation in the garden. |
| Yes, that's a conga line during the final chorus of Act III. |  |
