Santa Fe

I just returned from vacationing for a week in Santa Fe. We saw three operas while we were there: Verdi's Falstaff , Saariaho's Adriana Mater , and Mozart's Marriage of Figaro . All three productions were really, really great. The experience differs from (I'll say) conventional opera performances in that the performances take place in an amphitheater in the mountains just north of Santa Fe. If you...

A sign of the Grimes

£14.99 ($30) for the new recording of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes conducted by the delight of the classical music industry is a fantastic bargain. But £14.99 ($30) for the same musician's acclaimed accounts of Peter Grimes and Verdi's Falstaff on 5 CDs ? As the credit crunches that really is a sign of the Grimes . More a cava moment than a champagne moment ? Any copyrighted material on these pages...

You write the reviews: Falstaff, Theatre Royal, Glasgow

No matter how many times one hears this marvellous score, one cannot fail to be amazed by the ingenuity, sparkle, wit and invention that Verdi lavished on the music of his last opera. Under the conductor Peter Robinson, the performance of this new Scottish Opera production sparkled from start to finish, and the orchestra obviously enjoyed playing such gorgeous music. Musically, too, onstage there...

Tim Page Takes Washington Post Buyout

Giuseppe Verdi's final opera, "Falstaff," has the metabolism of a hummingbird. *** But Bach and Beethoven tell us exactly what they want to tell us, while Mozart lets us find what we want in him, on our own levels of...

Falstaff, Theatre Royal, Glasgow

With a dive from the high springboard, the conductor Peter Robinson launched Verdi's final opera into brisk motion. He kept the momentum to the end. The orchestra loved it, the singers kept up, most of the time, even in the complex ensembles; the cross-rhythmed nonet that ends Act I scrambled and elbowed, like people pushing and shoving through a doorway.

Falstaff, Theatre Royal, Glasgow

Review: Though updating an opera to the year when it was composed is one of the recurring tricks of ­modern stagecraft, it should nevertheless have been ­surprising to find Scottish Opera setting its latest production of Verdi’s Falstaff in 1893.

Falstaff's Comedy and Dignity

(Photo: Opera Illinois) BY GEORGE LOOMIS [NY Sun, 21 March 2008] The Metropolitan Opera made a questionable judgment call a few years ago when it abandoned plans for a new production of Verdi's "Falstaff" and decided instead to refurbish its once-classic Franco Zeffirelli production from 1964. Despite efforts on their behalf, however, the sets looked every bit their age when they returned in 2002...

Falstaff, Millennium Centre, Cardiff Five: 15, Oran Mor, Glasgow

The final image of Peter Stein's production of Verdi's Falstaff says it all. Dunked in a ditch, duped by the merry wives and denounced as a fool, poor, greedy, self-loving, self-loathing Sir John magically ascends through the night air of Windsor Park and floats above his tormentors, grinning from ear to ear. The Welsh bass-baritone is back, and if Bryn Terfel's charisma has dimmed since withdrawing...

Falstaff, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff

Even when it was new, 20 years ago, Peter Stein's staging of Verdi's last opera in the confined spaces of Cardiff's New Theatre was an oasis of clarity and good sense amid a sea of directorial postmodernism. Revived on Monday on the wider WMC stage, it had a faintly retro air, with the Globe-like balconies and arcades of Lucio Fanti's sets requiring lengthy scene-changes and two substantial intervals....
