University Opera presents Verdi's Falstaff

Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the Bard’s portly knight comes to the University Opera stage in the title role of Verdi’s Falstaff. University Opera presents a new production of this final, outrageous jewel of the composer’s career: his comic (and often chaotic) masterpiece about the scheming knight of Windsor. Conducted by James Smith and directed by David Ronis, this production is an unashamed making of merriment in a grand manner only Verdi could orchestrate.
