Play.com Description:
Verdi's last opera and the final peak of his career Falstaff is the culmination of Italian comic opera. The story is taken from Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives Of Windsor although the central character is much closer to the Falstaff of Henry IV. The roguish Sir John embroils himself in numerous plots and dupes of love and marriage until eventually the Merry Wives get their revenge on him and all plans are thwarted. Verdi's sparkling and witty opera is the perfect synthesis of music and dramatic language. Sir John Falstaff is brilliantly played by the great Belgian bass-baritone Jose Van Dam a consumate actor as well as a singer. Mistress Quickly is played by Livia Budai and Nanetta is Elizabeth Szmytka. This Theatre Royal de la Monnaie de Bruxelles production was recorded during the 1987 Aix-En-Provence Festival and has never before been released on video or DVD.
