Libretto by Hermann Von Mosenthal, based on William Shakespeare’s play
Sir John Falstaff leads a dissipated life. Permanently penniless, he sends the same love letter to Frau Fluth and Frau Reich, two rich bourgeois women. The latter, seeing through the ruse, are highly put out. From that time on, their only amusement comes at the expense of the inept suitor. Now thrown into the Thames with the dirty laundry, now expelled from the room with great sweeps of the broom while disguised as a woman, Falstaff becomes the laughing-stock of the village children when he walks through the woods in a ghost costume.
