Daniele Gatti conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Zurich Opera House in this performance of Verdi's final opera, based on the character created by William Shakespeare. When the lecherous Henry Falstaff (Ambrogio Maestri) sends identical letters of love to two wives of Windsor, Alice Ford (Barbara Frittoli) and Meg Page (Judith Schmid), the women decide to teach him a lesson, and send Mistress Quickly (Yvonne Naef) to arrange a rendezvous.
