Falstaff

Falstaff is Verdi’s spiritual last will and testament, a late-life work in which he embraced the challenge of an entire lifetime – i.e., the desire to win renown for comic opera. Daniele Rustioni and the Orchestra of the Opéra de Lyon create a veritable marvel, and impel the comic force of the colourful troupe, who have been perfectly chosen for this work. But who, pray tell, is Falstaff? Barrie Kosky transforms him into a carnivalesque figure, thus taking us back to the very origins of our culture via this excessive being who turns to his vices of food, drink and sex in an effort to combat his fear of death.
