There are days when he doesn't move, sleeps, or is in a bad mood; at other times he screams, runs and jumps like the devil in person ... I'll let him cool his cap a bit, but if he goes on like this I'll muzzle and straitjacket him. " Falstaff's slightly resigned conclusion that everything in the world is just fun (“Tutto nel mondo è burla”) has often been interpreted as a kind of legacy from Verdi, who once again pulled out all the stops of his ingenious skills in his last stage work. And for once when he was composing - as Verdi writes to Ricordi - "neither thought of theater nor of singers. I wrote it for my pleasure and for myself, and I think it should be performed in S. Agata instead of in Scala ». The work with which Verdi initiated a renaissance of musical comedy at the turn of the 20th century is particularly important to chief conductor Daniele Gatti and opens the series of new productions he has directed at our company. Director Sven-Eric Bechtolf, who has already brought the tragic counterpart to the “Falstaff” to our stage with Verdi's “Otello”, is responsible for the scenic implementation. Ambrogio Maestri designed the title role, Barbara Frittoli, Yvonne Naef and Judith Schmid put a stop to his activities as "Women of Windsor" and at the same time put the jealous Ford, sung by Massimo Cavalletti, in his place.

«Hamsterbacke!», «Eingebildeter Fettwanst!», «Gefrässiger Wal!», lauten nur einige der schmeichelhaften Zuschreibungen der lustigen Weiber von Windsor für Sir John Falstaff, die beleibte Titelfigur von Giuseppe Verdis letzter Oper. Der verarmte Cavaliere ist, um seinen enormen Lebenshunger zu stillen, auf den Geldbeutel reicher Bürgersleute angewiesen und schreibt schon mal zwei identische Liebesbriefe, um an sein Ziel zu gelangen; Falstaff kennt keinerlei Verantwortungsgefühl, untergräbt permanent moralische Werte und wird doch für seine Ur-Lebenskraft von allen geliebt. Selbst der brutale Korbsturz in die Themse, den er als Rache von Alice und Meg für die Liebesbriefe über sich ergehen lassen muss, lässt ihn nur kurz an der Welt verzweifeln: Ein Glas Glühwein schafft Abhilfe und lässt die Welt gleich in einem neuen Licht erstrahlen. «Alles auf der Welt ist Spass und der Mensch ein Narr», lautet sein letzter Kommentar und ist somit auch das überraschende Fazit des fast 80-jährigen Giuseppe Verdi, der nach seinem überwiegend tragischen Œuvre und seinem dem Falstaff vorangegangenen Eifersuchtsdrama Otello die Opernbühne mit einem Lachen verlässt. Schwungvoll, jugendlich und voller Überraschungen ist seine Partitur und ein Vermächtnis tiefster Humanität.

Mit dem walisischen Weltstar Bryn Terfel steht am Opernhaus Zürich einmal mehr der Falstaff der Gegenwart auf der Bühne. Verdis Oper ist jedoch auch eine Ensembleoper, in der alle Stimmen kunstvoll ineinander verwoben sind: Irina Lungu als Alice führt die Weiber von Windsor an, Ensemblemitglied Konstantin Shushakov als ihr eifersüchtiger Ehemann Ford die männlichen Protagonisten. Generalmusikdirektor Gianandrea Noseda leitet die Philharmonia Zürich.

"Hamster's cheek!", "Imaginary fat man!", "Gourmous whale!" are just a few of the flattering attributions made by the merry wives of Windsor to Sir John Falstaff, the obese title character of Giuseppe Verdi's last opera. The impoverished Cavaliere is dependent on the wallets of rich citizens to satisfy his enormous thirst for life and sometimes writes two identical love letters in order to reach his goal; Falstaff knows no sense of responsibility, constantly undermines moral values ​​and yet is loved by everyone for his primal vitality. Even the brutal basket fall into the Thames, which he has to endure as revenge from Alice and Meg for the love letters, only lets him despair of the world for a moment: A glass of mulled wine helps and lets the world shine in a new light.Falstaff 's previous jealousy drama Otello leaves the opera stage with a laugh. His score is lively, youthful and full of surprises and a legacy of the deepest humanity.

With the Welsh world star Bryn Terfel, contemporary Falstaff is once again on stage at the Zurich Opera House. However, Verdi's opera is also an ensemble opera in which all the voices are artfully interwoven: Irina Lungu as Alice leads the women of Windsor, ensemble member Konstantin Shushakov as her jealous husband Ford the male protagonists. General Music Director Gianandrea Noseda directs the Philharmonia Zürich.
