Falstaff

The folks behind this production of Falstaff say this is “opera unplugged,” and we believe them. Opera in the Heights is known for performing black-tie shows without the black-tie trappings — or prices. Today you’ll enjoy Verdi’s story of the knight with a serious Romeo complex and big, big plans (all of which go comedically awry). 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays. Through April 4. Lambert Hall, 1703 Heights. For information, call 713-861-5303 or visit www.operaintheheights.org. $28 to $45.

Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: March 26. Continues through April 11, 2009
