Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi, from Staatsoper Hamburg, 2020. Directed by Henning Kasten, conductor Axel Kober. Starring Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper, Ambrogio Maestri, Falstaff; Markus Brück, Ford; Oleksiy Palchykov, Fenton; Jürgen Sacher, Dr. Cajus; Daniel

Sir John Falstaff is an anarchist who obeys only the reign of his own enjoyment, an egoist who feeds only his power-hunger and his own flesh, and who would prefer to raze the small-minded morals of his contemporaries like the walls of a fortress – by seducing two women at the same time. Needless to say, his plan is thwarted, but those trying to expose him also fail to emerge unruffled from the confusion they unleash around him – which only the audience can keep track of, barely. "Tutto nel mondo è burla," but these jokes are only funny because falling into the abyss actually does pose quite a serious risk. Arrigo Boito, the librettist of "Otello", distilled a sophisticated, ingenious libretto from Shakespeare's original, driving Verdi to highly complex compositional heights.

The new production of Verdi's opera is the Hamburg State Opera's contribution to the ARTE Opera Season. With the ARTE Opera Season, ARTE Concert accompanies the European opera season and presents outstanding productions from the most important opera stages in Europe.

Sir John Falstaff is vain and narcissistic,cowardly and cunning,in this opera by Giuseppe Verdi after Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and adapted by Arrigo Boito.This black comedy performance,filmed at The Hamburg State Opera,follows Falstaff as he arrives in Windsor and sets out to obtain financial advantage by courting two wealthy married women.His opportunistic and comically unsuccessful seduction ploy begins to unfold,and even those trying to expose him fail to emerge unruffled from all the confusion.This play compels the audience to keep track of all events,as chaos ensues.

Video: Nicolas Döring Sir John Falstaff is an anarchist who only bows to the rule of his own pleasure, an egotist who only indulges in his absolutist abundance of power and body and wants to raze the stuffy moral concepts of his fellow human beings like the city walls of a fortress by immediately intends to seduce two women at the same time. Of course that goes wrong, but those who want to unmask him lose a lot of feathers in the confusion they stage around him - and which the viewer just about sees through. "Tutto nel mondo è burla," but these antics are only funny because falling into the abyss poses quite a serious risk. The "Otello" librettist Arrigo Boito has distilled a linguistically ingenious libretto from Shakespeare's template with finesse,
