Timothy Nelson
Conductor
Simone Luti
Shakespeare’s timeless classic The Merry Wives of Windsor brilliantly set to music by the great Giuseppe Verdi sees Sir John Falstaff finally get his due. This promises to be a performance of hijinks and fun with the titular role performed by Western Music's own faculty members Theodore Baerg and Chad Louwerse. This is an opera not to be missed for its wonderful music and hilarious comedy. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
