Finally everything is ready for the grand finale. In the garden, in the dark of night, Contessa - in the role of Susanna - Conte is expected that the present appointment, the same as Figaro and Susanna (itself disguised as his mistress) spy hidden among the branches, on their own. But to get there first Cherubino is the place instead, which must meet with Barbarina. Seeing a woman and thinks he recognizes in her Susanna, the page starts meddling "courting" as a joke and shamelessly. The arrival of the Count Because a few moments of confusion, partly because of the darkness that prevents the characters to be recognized: the noble Cherubino receives a kiss that was meant for "Susanna, Figaro and saddled with the slap that meant to give the page. Finally, after Cherubino has quickly defiladed (entering the hall where they already were hidden Barbarina and Marcellina), the Count can finally enjoy her sexual encounter with "Susan". Unaware that it was indeed the long-neglected wife, covers it with kisses, caresses and compliments, and even gives her a ring. At one point the measure is full to the jealous Figaro, which produces noise and din, forcing the lovers to pause their effusions (I personally love it and often hum the musical passage in which the two are separated: "It's Figaro, while off!" - "Go, go, then I'll come").

While the melody change and creates a striking moment of suspension, Figaro declares himself ready to take in a trap (like a new volcano), the faithless wife and her alleged lover. Susanna emerges from the recesses pretending Contessa, but forget for a moment to disguise his voice, and so Figaro finally recognizes and understands everything: keeping his cool, he decided to tease her turn to take revenge and begins to woo passionately in the "Countess". Now Susan is a jealous, and his anger explodes in a furious series of blows against her husband. Having already received a slap from Susan during the sextet of the third act ("Recognize in this embrace") and one just before the Count, Figaro here is really full. But immediately following the reconciliation as soon as the servant confessed that he recognized the voice of the girl and that he only wanted to make fun of. With the sweet theme "Peace, peace, my sweet darling," the two put a lid on their suspicions and they swear eternal love again, just in time to hear the Count, who is back on his heels in search of "Susanna." Seizing the opportunity, Figaro and the "Countess" continued their acting, this time to the exclusive benefit of Conte, who does not believe her ears to see (and hear!) His wife hugging Figaro.

FIGAROEverything is calm and placid;
entered the beautiful Venus
with fond Mars
modern Vulcan
in the network can.
SUSANNA
Hey, Figaro, to be quiet.
FIGARO
Oh, this is the Countess! A
time you come here ...
see for yourself ...
the count, and my wife ...
of your very own hand I will touch them.
SUSANNA
( forget to disguise his voice )
Talk about a bit 'lower
not move up from here, I am avenged
'.
FIGARO ( recognizes )
(Susanna!) Avenged?
SUSANNA
Yes
FIGARO
How can you do?
SUSANNA
(The unfair I go 'surprise,
then I know what I will do.)
FIGARO (The fox trying to catch me, and I'm going

Ah, if the madam wants ...
SUSANNA

FIGARO
Here I am to 'your feet ...
I have a heart full of fire ...
Look around you ... Think

SUSANNA
(As my hand is itching,
that craving, that fury!)
FIGARO (s'altera I like the lung,
that craving, that heat!)
SUSANNA

COUNT
Ah, scandalous!

Enraged, the Count calling out his servants as witnesses to the betrayal (among them are those who Figaro himself had asked to be lurking in the area: the book - because of the usual "overlapping" of the singers - and only mentions Antonio Basilio, but normally the preparations involving the presence of Bartolo, Don Curzio, and some even to make everybody actors to be on stage in the final scene). The gentleman calls his wife to come out of the pavilion where we had just hidden: After a moment of comic surprise and dismay of all in seeing out of the niche not only the "Countess", but also - in the order - Cherubino, Marcellina and Barbarina, Earl accuses his wife of adultery and the valet. The petitions and requests for forgiveness from all those present seem useless but the situation is reversed when you forward the real Countess, in the role of Susanna, leaving everyone speechless. Clarified everything, the Count finally becomes aware that he himself was the one who has to ask forgiveness and the Countess, magnanimity and tender, unlike him, I admit. It is the triumph of goodness female on male egos, a radiant, almost liturgical hymn to peace and understanding which unite all the characters immediately.

COUNTPeople, people, weapons, weapons!
FIGARO
The master!
COUNT
, help, help, help!
FIGARO
am lost!
and BASILIO ANTONIO
( rush, along with the servants with lighted torches )
What happened?
COUNT
The villain has betrayed, has defamed me,
and with whom you shall see!
BASILIO ANTONIO
and stupefied, I am stunned,
not seem to me that this is true!
FIGARO
They're amazed, I'm stunned,
oh what a scene, what fun!
COUNT
resist in vain, madam outputs, or the prize
you for your honesty!
( Cherubino out from the pavilion, Barbarina, Marcellina and Susanna )
The page!
ANTONIO
My daughter!
FIGARO
My mother!
BASILIO, and ANTONIO
FIGARO Madame!
COUNT
The plot is discovered,
the evil is here.
SUSANNA
( kneels at the foot of the Count )
Forgive me! Forgive me!
COUNT
No, no, no hope.
FIGARO ( kneels )
Forgive me! Forgive me!
COUNT
No, no, vo 'give!
BARTOLO, Cherubini, MARCELLINA, BASILIO,
ANTONIO, SUSANNA and FIGARO
( kneel )
Forgive me! Forgive me!
COUNT
No, no, no!
COUNTESS
( comes out the other niche )
At least I'll get them
forgiveness.
BASILIO, COUNT ANTONIO
(Oh my God, what do I see!
delirium! Crazy!
do not know what to believe?)
COUNT
Countess, forgive me!
COUNTESS
I'm more docile,
and say yes.
ALL
Ah, so we'll all be happy
. This
days of torment,
caprice and folly, joy and happiness in
Only love can.
Spouses, friends, dancing, gaming,
landmine fireworks!
And to the sound of a gay march
hurry off to celebrate!
Renée Fleming, Andreas Schmidt and others - Director: Bernard Haitink
At the end of a "crazy day" of intrigue and disguises, deceptions and traps, of seduction and betrayal (almost always only suspected but never really shake Just think of all the times that Figaro and Susanna suspect the infidelity of the other one), then comes the moment of final reconciliation. The book ends with all the characters rejoice in the newfound harmony and are preparing to celebrate all night. The forgiveness of the Countess had the power to strengthen family ties and marriage, but in a certain sense the characters - and us with them - they know that what we have done is only a chapter of the continuous and infinite game party featuring the romantic relationships of human beings: seduction, conquest, love, deceit, betrayal, peace and harmony.

In conclusion, we return briefly to the "sublime forgiveness." So in fact, Antonio Salieri (played by F. Murray Abraham, who won the award for this role Oscar for best actor), describes the culmination of the work in the film "Amadeus " Milos Forman:
I saw a woman, in the guise of a housekeeper, heard to ask her husband for the first time in years to keep phrases of love ... only because he thought it was another. I heard the music of sublime forgiveness filling the theater, giving everyone present a complete acquittal. God, through that little man could make convey to all of their voice, uncontrollably, making my defeat more bitter.
And here is the scene of forgiveness in the film "Le nozze di Figaro " by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle:
Director: Karl Böhm
