Verdi's Falstaff comes to Benedum Center from April 28th through May 3rd. Beloved buffoon Sir John Falstaff has fallen on hard times. But being a ladies’ man (or so he’d like to think), he drunkenly schemes to cash in on his wit and charm by wooing the wealthy wives of Windsor, Alice Ford and Meg Page. However, when these women uncover that he has sent them both identical love letters, they hatch a plan of their own to teach Falstaff a lesson he won’t soon forget! The music matches the merriment and mischief of this madcap romp. See why Verdi’s buoyant comedy, based on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, is considered one of the best comedic operas of all time! FREE childcare is available at our Sunday matinee performance! Or, let your child's school know about our Student Matinee opportunity on Thursday, April 30th. Maecenas XLI: Bon Voyage Saturday, May 16 Carnegie Music Hall 4400 Forbes Avenue On Saturday, May 16, we will gather for Maecenas XLI, an evening of music, dinner, dancing, and community.

This night will be more than a gala; it will be a heartfelt thank-you to Christopher for the artistry and imagination he has brought to our stage and city.
