The Count, unable to find the real Susanna, confronts Figaro.
The Count, unable to find the real Susanna, confronts Figaro. He mistakenly thinks Figaro is seducing his wife, and calls the guards through the song “Gentlemen, to arms!” All the characters enter the scene and beg for him to pardon Figaro and the disguised Susanna. Count Almaviva refuses at first, but when the real Countess Rosina enters, he identifies their marriage ring. Thoroughly remorseful and ashamed, he begs for forgiveness from his wife. The song “Countess, forgive me!” is played in the background. The Countess pardons him through the song “I am more mild,” or “Più docile io sono,” as a happy ending follows.
