The Théâtres de la Ville continue their survey of the vast body of work from one of the greatest composers, with a visit from the rambunctious Sir John Falstaff. Dedicated to Shakespeare’s great comic creation of the round-bellied knight, Falstaff is Verdi’s opera in three acts adapted from the bard’s play, The Merry Wives of Windsor. Plotting to wheedle his way into the affections and wealth of two married women, Falstaff makes the mistake of sending them identical love letters. With the help of their friend Mistress Quickly, another favourite Shakespearean character, the wives counter with their own plan to outwit him.

Stage direction is by Denis Podalydès. In the pit is the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg which, along with the Chœur de l’Opéra de Lille, is led by internationally renowned conductor Antonello Allemandi.
