The act begins in the chambers of Countess Rosina, who laments the Count’s lack of attention and love towards her through the song “Grant, love, some comfort.” She discusses the Count’s promiscuous nature with Susanna, who desperately wants to left alone. She comforts Rosina by sharing a plan that she and Figaro have hatched - they will send Almaviva a letter informing him that his wife is having an affair. Susanna will rendezvous with the Count, but Cherubino (disguised) will go instead of her.
