02 April 2023
Opera buffa in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi.
Libretto by Arrigo Boito after William Shakespeare.
First performed at Teatro La Scala on 9 February 1893.
Coproduction Opéra Nice Côte d'Azur and Théâtre Anthea d'Antibes.
After so many dark and tragic works, Verdi decided at the end of his life to let his comic verve speak. Inspired by colourful Shakespearean characters, Falstaff is an opera full of humour and tenderness, and is performed with a great deal of energy!
