Handel is even better: everyone who's alive sings a happily-ever-after chorus along with the dead guys who the live guys have killed earlier, who get miraculously resuscitated for the occasion! Who needs spoilers for that? (and it's the same at the end of almost every Handel opera).
Yebbut once you get into Mozart or Rossini the plots strain credulity from the word go. Best to check credulity at the door, I find, and not wonder too much why the comely wench would be attracted to the big fat bloke with the squeaky voice.
