The Reviews are In: "Falstaff Sizzles!" Only Two Performances Left!   The Philadelphia Inquirer: "... a complex, fast-moving comedy, full of visual jokes and high energy."    City Paper: "...the orchestra has never played with such sheen and accuracy. It was audible from the first comic blasts of sound that the Academy of Music audience was in for a vigorous, well-paced reading."   Edge Philadelphia: "Falstaff sizzles... a sublime, sweet, and curious ending ...[which] made watching and listening to the merry wives of Windsor an absolute treat." The Chestnut Hill Local:  "Each character was lovingly and convincingly projected, and each fit into the whole of the ensemble with immaculate precision."  TheOperaCritic.com: "... a great ensemble and fine orchestral playing led by Corrado Rovaris." There are only two more chances to see the show that has left audiences cheering since its opening last week -- Verdi's FALSTAFF!  With seating still available for performances Friday, May 11 at 8pm and Sunday, May 13 at 2:30pm, there's still time to enjoy the wonder of Verdi's music married with the comedy of Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, with a happy ending guaranteed for this Season Finale!   Call 215-893-1018 or click here to purchase tickets.   Click here to learn more about FALSTAFF.   Click here to see photos from rehearsals.     2007-2008 SEASON Directors' Welcome     Info     Cast     Synopsis     Composer Subscribe to the 2007-2008 SeasonToday!
