The merry wives of Windsor unite in mischief-making when an ignoble nobleman plots to plunder their savings in this inventive creation capping Verdi’s career. A true ensemble tour-de-force, Falstaff improves upon the original Merry Wives script, keeping the sweet young lovers subplot and adding the knight’s most pithy observations from Henry IV for good measure. Equal parts orchestral virtuosity and riotously paced comedy, the opera is a perfect fusion of renaissance realism and light-hearted fantasy.
