In Giuseppe Verdi’s final opera, inspired by Shakespeare’s Henry IV and The Merry Wives of Windsor, the charismatic (but bankrupt) Sir John Falstaff conspires to seduce two wealthy married women.
After sending identical love letters, Falstaff’s flimsy plan is foiled; Alice Ford and Meg Page hatch a scheme of their own to expose him.
Portland Opera’s unique take on this classic finds our hero traipsing about a 1980s Country Club, brought to life with vivid projections and colorful costumes.
Merriment and mischief are at the heart of the tale as this beloved buffoon endures mishaps and deceptions, ultimately discovering his humility.
With bright and lively melodies and unparalleled polyphonic arrangements, this exuberant masterpiece is widely considered one of the best comedic operas ever written.

Wanna see opera
I’ve never been to the opera and this would be an excellent place for my first
Would love to take my kiddo!
I have never been to a opera or ballet,I found out I like classical music like Mozart after I saw a orchestra play,figure opera be the same,thanks
This would be really amazing!
35 years ago I took an elective, Understanding Opera, class in the music department at the University of Oregon. I didn’t know why I liked it as a kid. I only knew that the storytelling and gorgeous music were transportive to
another world. My 17-year-old daughter is now expressing her interest in opera and I would love to take her to see Verdi’s Falstaff – an absolute classic.
The opera sounds like fun. I have only seen Portland ala carte and would like to see more
I’ve lived in Portland for 33 years and have always wanted to go the opera, yet have never been. Falstaff seems like it would be a great introduction!
I heard Portland has a great opera and id love to check it out
I would really love to see this opera, and i have never seen Henry IV!
This opera sounds wonderful! 1980s country club setting — could be hilarious!
What a cool way to stage this opera!
