KU Opera presents Giuseppe Verdi’s rollicking comedy Falstaff in the Robert Baustian Theatre January 26, 28, 31 and February 2 and 4 at 7:30pm.  When the larger-than-life and cash-strapped Sir John Falstaff decides to write identical love letters to two wealthy women—and those women compare notes—an uproarious plot of revenge ensues. Throw in a hotly jealous husband, two love-sick kids, a crazy doctor, disguises, intrigues and mistaken identities, and you’ve got a great night at the opera!
