Falstaff Ticket Includes Pre-Performance Talk at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

"Sir John Falstaff finds himself a bit short on cash, so he hatches a scheme: seduce two merry (and wealthy) wives of Windsor and live out his days in luxury. Too bad this bumbling knight happened to send both his targets the same love letter! Now Alice Ford and Meg Page are set on teaching Falstaff a lesson, and it's not long before a long list of his adversaries join in. Audiences are in for a whirlwind of disguises and deceptions, and maybe even an unexpected dip in the River Thames."  

Pre-Performance Talks - LA Opera

One hour prior to every performance of Falstaff at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, join James Conlon in the Eva and Marc Stern Grand Hall for a pre-performance talk.

An enormously popular highlight of the LA Opera experience, you'll learn about the history and plot of Verdi's Falstaff, as well as key musical moments to look forward to. Admission to the pre-show talk is included with your ticket to the opera.
