This autumn, Opera Goes Green! The environment lies at the heart of our next season as we prepare to stage three fully sustainable opera productions: Verdi’s Falstaff, Puccini’s La rondine, and Masque of Might, a newly-created piece from Sir David Pountney.

Merry wives and mischief

Join Shakespeare’s beloved rogue in this irreverent comedy that will have you rolling with laughter. Falstaff may be down on his luck, but he still thinks he’s the most charming man in Windsor. When he targets two wealthy wives he believes he’s hit the jackpot, but these women are no pushovers and they concoct a plan to teach Falstaff a lesson he’ll never forget…

Verdi’s score bursts with energy and wicked humour. With its unforgettable characters and unexpected twists, this new production promises to be a riot!
