The Merry Wives of Windsor

The wit of Shakespeare and the charm of Viennese operetta collide in PSU Opera's spring production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor," an opera by Otto Nicolai, based on the comedy by William Shakespeare. Set in Elizabethan England, the opera incorporates elements of commedia dell'arte in the hilarious tale of Sir John Falstaff and his foolish attempts to court the married Mistress Page and Mistress Ford for his financial advantage. The ladies decide to teach old John a lesson, and he is the victim of a series of pranks, first by them, and then by the whole town, until he swears to never again indulge in amorous pursuits. Join us for an evening of Shakespearean high jinks and hilarity!
