The Moores School of Music at the University of Houston presents the opera Falstaff. Music by Giuseppe Verdi. Libretto by Arrigo Boito. Based on The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare. Buck Ross, producer/director. Brett Mitchell,* music director.

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.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
