Falstaff
"A life's work of passion ends with an outburst of merriment" - this is how Verdi's lyricist Arrigo Boito commented on his Falstaff. The grimly funny story about the downtrodden and lovestruck knight Sir John Falstaff is Verdi's only comedy and at the same time the work with which the composer left the stage in 1893. Based on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of WindsorThe opera tells the story of the fat knight Falstaff, who tries to alleviate his financial difficulties through love affairs with wealthy middle-class women. Mrs. Alice Ford and Mrs. Meg Page, the outraged recipients of Falstaff's love messages, not only give the fat paunch a cleverly designed lesson, but also outwit Ford's resistance to his daughter Nannetta's marriage to Fenton. In the end, the offended title hero reacts with wise superiority: relaxed cheerfulness is the only appropriate reaction to the confused hustle and bustle of this world.
Can one imagine a bass-baritone with a stronger voice and character in the role of Falstaff than the Welsh world star Bryn Terfel? After his glorious appearance in Zurich as a Dutchman, he is now presenting himself in our Falstaffresume the honor. General Music Director Fabio Luisi takes on Verdi's score, which is brimming with humor and ideas. Javier Camarena gives the fenton

Falstaff
«Ein Lebenswerk der Leidenschaft endigt mit einem Ausbruch von Heiterkeit» – so kommentierte Verdis Textdichter Arrigo Boito dessen Falstaff. Die grimmig-komische Geschichte um den heruntergekommenen und liebestollen Ritter Sir John Falstaff ist Verdis einzige Komödie und gleichzeitig das Werk, mit dem sich der Komponist 1893 von der Bühne verabschiedete. Basierend auf Shakespeares Lustigen Weibern von Windsor erzählt die Oper von dem dicken Ritter Falstaff, der seine Geldnöte durch Liebesabenteuer mit steinreichen Bürgersfrauen zu lindern versucht. Mrs. Alice Ford und Mrs. Meg Page, die empörten Empfängerinnen von Falstaffs Liebesbotschaften, verpassen dem Dickwanst nicht  nur einen klug eingefädelten Denkzettel, sondern überlisten auch Fords Widerstand gegen die Hochzeit seiner Tochter Nannetta mit Fenton. Der brüskierte Titelheld reagiert am Ende mit weiser Überlegenheit: gelassene Heiterkeit ist die einzig angemessene Reaktion auf das verwirrte Treiben dieser Welt.
Kann man sich einen stimmmächtigeren und charakterstärkeren Bassbariton in der Partie des Falstaff vorstellen als den walisischen Weltstar Bryn Terfel? Nach seinem gloriosen Zürcher Auftritt als Holländer gibt er sich nun in unserer Falstaff-resume the honor. General Music Director Fabio Luisi takes on Verdi's score, which is brimming with humor and ideas. Javier Camarena gives the fenton.
