Apr 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 2009 |
| By Giuseppe Verdi |
7:30pm |
| Falstaff is the supreme, ultimate, transcendental comedy in music. Maestro Verdi at 80+ years old wrote music for the ages. Enjoy seeing the tables get turned on old “Sir John” as, in the end, we will agree: “All the world is a burlesque and man is born a jester.” |
