The final opera by the master Verdi; a masterpiece regarded as the pinnacle of Italian comic opera. A man who has seen it all faces the end of his life coolly, with a smile on his lips. It is a work whose libretto and score both combine incomparable entertainment with a profound philosophy of life, and under the masterful direction of Jonathan Miller, the dignity of mankind is subtly depicted amidst the buoyant tempo and the laughter. Some of your favorite singers will display the apex of their talents and invite you to laugh aloud at the complexities of human nature in this avidly awaited revival.

Synopsis
The fat, old Sir John Falstaff sends love letters to two ladies of means, Alice Ford and Meg Page, asking for money. The women realize that the letters they have received are identical, and conspire together with Falstaff's retainers Bardolfo and Pistola, who bear a grudge against their master, as well as Ford and Dr. Cajus, to teach Falstaff a lesson. While Falstaff is lured out and is pinched and pricked in Windsor Park, it emerges that Ford's daughter Nannetta has actually married her lover Fenton, thereby bring the opera to a happy ending.
