Verdi: Falstaff (2019)

The plot revolves around the thwarted, sometimes farcical, efforts of the fat knight Sir John Falstaff to seduce two married women to gain access to their husbands' wealth. The opera begins in the Garter Inn, where bumbling knight Sir John Falstaff is accused of thievery by Dr. Caius. After Falstaff and his servants, Bardolfo and Pistola, are thrown out of the inn, Falstaff hatches a scheme to fatten his purse. He has penned two identical letters professing his love; one is to go to Alice Ford, while the other is meant for Meg Page. He plans to seduce the women and thus gain access to the wealth possessed by their husbands.
