'If you want to dance, my Count, I'll play the tune. With the art of hiding, the art of employing, over here fighting, over there joking, I will overturn every one of your plans.'

It's the morning of their wedding, and Susanna and Figaro are still at work.

Even better: their boss Count Almaviva is trying every means in his considerable power to prevent the wedding altogether - unless Susanna agrees to sleep with him.

The Count's sidelined wife Rosina is at a loss for how to get her husband to respect her and their employees. But Figaro has a few ideas up his sleeve - and Susanna can beat him to the punch, backwards and in high-heels!

In a new staging by The Cooperative, Mozart, Da Ponte and Beaumarchais' irrepressible comedy about love, politics, and gendered double-standards hasn't been this relevant since it was written in 1786 - on the cusp of the French Revolution.

• Conductor - Joanna Drimatis

• Director - Rebecca Moret
