A Shakespearean Scammer!

Elizabethan England comes to town this spring, care of the Minnesota Opera as they stage Verdi's final masterpiece. Comic, romantic, and full of delightful hijinks, join scene stealer of three of Shakespeare's plays, Sir John Falstaff - Played by Craig Colclough under the baton of conductor Christopher Franklin - setting out to woo two different women, with the exact same plan for each! 

What is the Story?

Down on his luck, famed bounder Sir John Falstaff decides to turn his fortunes around by scamming two married women with identical love letters, hoping that at least one of them falls for his ploy and shares her husband's fortune. Unfortunately, things don't quite go to plan, and he's thwarted by the merry wives of Windsor at every turn, who on discovering his duplicity decide to get some revenge! But whether he's berated by forest demons or thrown into the Thames, Falstaff retains his sense of humor and his 'Joie de Vivre' to the very end.
