Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor

About the show

Frau Fluth and Frau Reich each receive a love letter from Falstaff and conspire to punish him. Their husbands suspect infidelity, but the women repeatedly trick Falstaff, first hiding him in a laundry basket and later disguising him as a maid. Meanwhile, Anna Reich resists her parents’ preferred suitors and loves Fenton. In Windsor Forest, the couples frighten and mock Falstaff at a masked ball, while Anna and Fenton marry; the families reconcile.
