Giuseppe Verdi gets the last laugh in Pittsburgh Opera's 'Falstaff'
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Everyone ends up laughing in Giuseppe Verdi's 'Falstaff.' One of opera's mere handful of genuinely funny comic operas, it was the improbable farewell to the stage of the master of Italian operatic tragedy."

I wish i had time this week to go see this opera (but alas, it will not happen). This one in particular seems interesting- the comedic operas are not what one normally expects. Particularly one set to the libereto of Shakespeare must be quite funny. The music in the opera can highlight some of the more subtle jokes that Shakespeare makes. I don't know if this opera does or now, although from this review it does.
