This version of the comedic opera is set in beautiful Southern California in the 1970s, creating a jive-talking, wild ride of a show. The opera concludes with a comic finale at Hern’s Oak (a local disco club), where Falstaff is tricked one last time by the townspeople, who dress up to humiliate him further. Ultimately, he is forced to acknowledge his foolishness, and the community celebrates their triumph over his deceitful plan and the rest of the couple’s love.
