| Note: | |
Take a conniving, lecherous layabout with an inflated ego and two scheming middle-aged housewives determined to trim his sails and you have the makings of an uproarious comic opera. Nicolai’s version of Shakespeare’s play abounds in glorious music, shrewd characterisation and dramatic impact. When the crafty idler Falstaff decides to seduce Mistresses Ford and Page, he finds he has bitten off more than even he can chew. His punishments include being thrown into the Thames in a gigantic laundry basket, having to beat a hasty retreat disguised as an old woman, and being made a fool of by a crowd of townsfolk in a wood at midnight. And that’s not counting the sub-plot of Mistress Page’s daughter and her lovers. Highly acclaimed company Surrey Opera presents this opera with professional principals, full chorus and orchestra. The brand-new English translation has been written especially for this production. |
