Jaan Hargel's last production at the Vanemuine was Nicolai's opera Die lustige Weiber von Windsor (1965), which he could conduct for only a few times before his early death.
Jaan Hargeli viimaseks lavastuseks Vanemuises jäi Nicolai ooper „Windsori lõbusad naised“ (1965), mida ta jõudis enne surma juhatada vaid mõne korra.
