The San Diego Opera presents Community Conversations, a free lecture series that explores various themes from its 2016/2017 season.
The series closes with Points of View: Falstaff in Shakespeare and Verdi, happening at the Old Globe's Hattox Hall.
In a lively discussion with Barry Edelstein, Artistic Director of The Old Globe Theatre and a Shakespeare expert, the character Falstaff will be looked at from various points of view: that of the stage director, the actor and the singer (not to mention the viewer or the listener!)
Considered the best operatic version of Shakespeare, Verdi?s Falstaff still inspires with its humorous, adventurous and ultimately touching portrayal of this classic character. Was Verdi true to Shakespeare? We?ll find out!
Admission/Cost: FREE (
Wednesday, January 4 - 7:00 PM
