Beloved by theaters worldwide, Beaumarchais's "The Marriage of Figaro" was first staged in Azerbaijan in 1940 at the Academic National Drama Theatre. The Azerbaijan State National Young Spectators Theatre has revisited this play 83 years later, including it in the 2024 repertoire.

This comedy, with its intriguing plot, features Count Almaviva, who lustfully eyes all women around him and seeks to disrupt Suzanne and Figaro's wedding.

The conflict between the Count and Figaro in the play is rich with comic nuances. Suzanne, Figaro, and the Countess set a trap for the wayward Count. The Count, using his own cunning, hopes to expose the Countess's infidelity. However, his trick fails, and he is embarrassed to find Suzanne emerging from behind the door.

Count Almaviva's servant Figaro and his fiancée, along with other accomplice servants, prove to be smarter and more resourceful than their masters. They skillfully overcome all obstacles.

Eventually, the Count, looking forward to meeting Suzanne, waits for her in his garden. The Countess, dressed in Suzanne's clothes, goes to meet the Count. The Count is confused when he sees the Countess instead of Suzanne and asks for her forgiveness. The Countess forgives him. Suzanne, in the Countess's clothes, goes to meet Figaro. Figaro, initially anxious, recognizes Suzanne in the unfamiliar dress and regrets his wrongful thoughts about his beloved.

In this farcical play, the music of famous composers Mozart and Rossini is used.

This production, structured as a game, advises people to be faithful in love and family relationships.
