Dale Gillespie asks:

>>My voice teacher seems to think that there is a Tenor version
of FALSTAFF. Is there? Or does Falstaff appear in another Opera
but sung by a Tenor?

Grove's Dictionary of Opera lists only two other operas with
Falstaff: Falstaff by Saleri, where the main character is a
bass, and "The Merry Wives of Windsor," by Nicolai, where
Falstaff is also a bass.
