Opera Santa Barbara Presents
FALSTAFF
by Giuseppe Verdi

Verdi and Shakespeare: the perfect pair! This season, Falstaff receives its long-overdue company premiere. One of Verdi's only forays into humor, Falstaff is often deemed the finest operatic comedy ever written, and features an ingenious libretto and a sprightly, scintillating score. The witty, elegant tale - the composer's final work - is built around Shakespeare's portly errant knight, Sir John Falstaff, as he attempts to woo two married ladies in hopes of improving both his financial situation and his love life. Unfortunately, things don't go quite as he planned; he's thwarted by the merry wives of Windsor at every turn! However, not even an unexpected dip in the Thames can dampen Falstaff's sense of humor – or his irrepressible joie de vivre!
