Verdi’s glorious Shakespearean comedy from the New York Met, conducted by Daniele Rustioni. Michael Volle sings the title role as the roguish Knight Falstaff - his first Verdi role at the Met. The brilliant cast for Robert Carsen’s production features Ailyn Pérez, Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Jennifer Johnson Cano as the trio of clever women whose gleeful tormenting of Falstaff delivers his comeuppance.
