G.Verdi -Falstaff, new production by Oscar-winning director Jiří Mentzel

 

Verdi's Falstaff is a work that never ceases to amaze. The Košice people have mastered it brilliantly, also thanks to the extremely honest, mathematically precise, but still spontaneous musical staging by Martin Leginus. The touchstone of Falstaff is the elaborate final fugue, setting Verdi's life epitaph: Tutto nel mondo è burla. It is hard to imagine a better interpretation than the one offered by the Košice Nonet of soloists, chorus and orchestra on that Friday evening.
