Bass-baritone Bryn Terfel sings Falstaff and Ainhoa Arteta sings Alice Ford in Giuseppe Verdi's FALSTAFF.

Welsh Bass-baritone Bryn Terfel sings the title role in San Francisco Opera's Falstaff. Based on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV, Verdi's last opera - which premiered in 1893 at La Scala - is a wise, wistful comedy about a self-deluded old man who vainly attempts to seduce two women at once.
Saturday, October 18, 1 to 3:45 pm.
