Invitation to a (double) wedding

So, at last, at the end of Act III, Figaro and Susanna (and Marcellina and Bartolo) get married. But that’s not the end of it all, oh no, the day’s madness is set to continue…

This week I want to look how Mozart puts his more extended ensembles together with particular reference to the Act III sextet.
