Vowing revenge, the merry wives of Windsor make plans to teach our hefty hero a lesson in laughter. Featuring rollicking melodies, intricate ensembles and lilting arias, Falstaff sparkles with brilliant music and Elizabethan wit. Class fee includes transportation, pre-opera lecture, and main floor seating for this marvelous Seattle Opera production. The Hutterite Community of Marlin is one of four such communities in the State of Washington. The people living in these close-knit and religious communities, or colonies, belong to the largest, oldest, and most successful communal societies in the Western World.
Hutterite society is different from mainstream North American society in obvious ways.
They follow unique traditions and dress in fashions that appear outlandish to some outsiders. However, look past the appearance and you discover that their cultural and religious affiliations are not that much different from western orthodox traditions after all. Furthermore, meet individuals from these communities and you find they are hardly the mysterious people others make them out to be. We will meet community members, tour a model house, observe the community at work, and have a lunch made entirely from community resources. Avoid the Memorial Day weekend traffic and the hassles of trying to park near the Seattle Center.
