Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor – Kurzeinführung | Volksoper Wien

Ms. Fluth and Ms. Reich, two married ladies, receive love letters from the impoverished nobleman Falstaff at the same time. They decide to teach him a lesson. At the same time, three cavaliers want to marry Anna, the daughter of Ms. Reich: Dr. Cajus, a French beau, is her mother's favourite, but her father prefers the shy Junker Spärlich, and Anna herself is in love with the penniless Fenton. Plenty of material for countless complications and entanglements.

More than 40 years before Verdi, Otto Nicolai and librettist Salomon Hermann Mosenthal used Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor for their opera. Was it a romantic comedy the two had in mind, or can we even detect an influence from the revolutionary movements of 1848? Confident bourgeois women taking up the fight with aristocracy?

In any case, if failed ambition is considered one of the driving forces of drama, The Merry Wives of Windsor provides the best example. And in this case it is not gods or fate that cause ambition to fail, it is the women who trim male ambition down to nothing but empty words. The production is in the hands of the highly accomplished Dutch director Nina Spijkers, who has already subjected numerous theatre classics to a critical reading and will be working with set designer and Tony Award winner Rae Smith for her first work at the Volksoper. "I am drawn to stories in which women form a strong community," says Spijkers of her interest in Nicolai's opera.

English

Frau Fluth und Frau Reich, zwei verheiratete Damen, erhalten zur gleichen Zeit Liebesbriefe von dem verarmten Edelmann Falstaff. Sie beschließen, ihm eine Lektion zu erteilen. Drei Kavaliere wollen Anna, die Tochter von Frau Reich, heiraten: Dr. Cajus, ein französischer Schönling, ist der Favorit ihrer Mutter, ihr Vater jedoch bevorzugt den schüchternen Junker Spärlich, Anna selbst ist in den mittellosen Fenton verliebt. Stoff genug für unzählige Komplikationen und Verwicklungen.

„Mich ziehen Geschichten an, in denen Frauen eine starke Gemeinschaft bilden“, sagt Regisseurin Nina Spijkers, und knüpft für ihren humoristisch-feministischen Blick auf das Werk an die Solidarität der Frauen an. An ihrer Seite ebenfalls ein Team aus Frauen: Bühnenbildnerin und Tony-Award-Gewinnerin Rae Smith, bekannt für die monumentale Londoner Produktion von War Horse, und Kostümbildnerin Jorine van Beek.
