NOV 19-25 Catch Manitoba Opera’s
performance of one of Verdi’s late
masterpieces. Falstaff tells the tale
of an aged playboy knight who sends
identical love letters to two married
women, in the hopes of securing their
husbands’ fortunes for himself. Sung
in Italian with English translation, this
comic opera turns cases of mistaken
identity, disguises, pranks, plots, and
counter-plots into a rollicking show.

Theatre Centre gets the royal treatment

Elizabeth II over more than 60 years,

audience with the Prime Minister.
Written by The Queen’s Peter Morgan and

Mirren in the starring role, the play is
a rich and clever look at British history.
