The Merry Wives of Windsor

О событии

With a new production of "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor" (The Merry Wives of Windsor) by Alfred Kirchner, the Volksoper Wien will celebrate Otto Nicolai's 200th birthday.

The figure of the dubious misfit Sir John Falstaff has become a modern legend: fat, lascivious, arrogant, yet also full of humour and passion. With his brilliant, bold tricks he causes confusion in the lives of some of the more staid members of the establishment. Suddenly, the all‐too‐secure world of the Fluth and Reich families is stirred by a desire for adventure, intrigue and passion.
