can honor fill your belly?

Down on his luck, famed bounder Sir John Falstaff decides to turn his fortunes around by scamming two married women with the identical love letters, hoping that at least one of them falls for his ploy and shares her husband's fortune. Unfortunately, things don't quite go to plan, and he's thwarted by the merry wives of Windsor at every turn, who on discovering his duplicity decide to get some revenge! But whether he's berated by forest demons or thrown into the Thames, Falstaff retains his sense of humor and his 'joie de vivre' to the very end.

Based on the character from Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor, Falstaff was Verdi's last opera, composed at the age of 80. A perennial favorite, expect hijinks a plenty, young lovers, treacherous servants in this dashing comic masterpiece!
