THE STATION ORCHESTRA
CHERUBINO, the lovelorn, youthful page, worships his mistress, the Countess, but has an eye, too, for pretty Susanna, her maid. The Count, who also is attracted by the maid, finds Cherubino in her company more than once, and decides to pack him off to join the Army.
In this air Figaro, the Count's valet, chaffs the boy, who is not a little perturbed at this new turn of events.
