Opera Club to present comic opera ‘Falstaff’ on Jan. 16

Everyone is invited to come and watch Verdi’s opera “Falstaff” on Tuesday, Jan. 16, at 2:30 p.m. in the Learning Center of Clubhouse 3. This is a new time based on the room’s availability during the first few months of 2024.

“Falstaff” is the last opera by Giuseppe Verdi, who collaborated with his librettist Arrigo Boito in adapting Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” and “King Henry IV” to the musical stage. Knowledgeable club member Joyce Bachner will introduce this comic opera with its joyous twists and turns that have delighted audiences for over 100 years.

The production is in Italian with English subtitles. People are invited to wear masks indoors if desired. No dues or fees are collected. For more information, contact Margaret Gillon at MargaretGi@ yahoo com or 562-370-3844.
