Falstaff is the last of VERDI's operas, and is based on SHAKESPEARE's Merry Wives of Windsor. It is considered the crowning work of comedy in the history of Italian opera. The work requires the highest degree of precise ensemble singing throughout, typified first and foremost in the final fugue (Tutto nel mondo è burla, or "All the world's a joke") sung by the whole cast.
This ​Jonathan MILLER's production ​will be staged for the first time since 2007.  
Georgian baritone George GAGNIZDE will make his ​debut in the title role ​under the baton of Maestro Yves ABEL​.
