The guilty ones kneeling in the foreground: Marcellina; Cherubino (Amy Bouchard); Barbarina (Monique B. Bomba) and Susanna are begging forgiveness from the count, who will hear none of it. The bewildered Don Bartolo (Nicolas Aliaga, standing center) and Don Basilio (Ross Halper, standing right) are trying to comprehend the situation, while the Countess Almaviva (standing, left) is preparing a "coup de grace" against her wandering husband.
