2019 Opera at the Beach "Falstaff"

Bay Shore Lyric Opera presents Verdi’s sophisticated Shakespearean comedy "Falstaff ." Brimming with backfired plans, failed disguises, and uproarious personalities, this brilliant opera—Verdi’s last—features one of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters: the rotund and lovably oafish knight Falstaff, from the Bard’s Henry IV and The Merry Wives of Windsor. In this operatic take, Falstaff attempts to seduce two wealthy (and married) women—but they concoct their own scheme to expose him for a fool.

Sung in English with orchestra
Conductor: John Graulty
