Falstaff October 23, 2011

Music by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Arrigo Boito
Based on The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
What woman could resist the charms of an aging, corpulent, drunken seducer? Shakespeare's lovable rogue Falstaff confidently barrels through Elizabethan England leaving comic destruction in his wake. A quicksilver tribute to the joys of self-indulgence and self-delusion, Verdi's final masterpiece heartily embraces all that life has to offer. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
