Fancy an evening filled with humour, musical fire, and sparkling intrigues? Antonio Salieri shows his wittiest side in Falstaff, and demonstrates why he is more than merely a footnote in the history of music.

Under the direction of René Jacobs, a lively and hilarious spectacle unfolds, with deception and confusion succeeding one another at breakneck speed. Falstaff hatches his schemes, the Fords see right through him, Bardolfo weaves his way in between, and the audience is right in the thick of things.

With the B’Rock Orchestra, the Choeur de Chambre de Namur, and an international cast of leading soloists, this vibrant opera comes fully to life: with Krešimir Stražanac as Falstaff, Luigi de Donato as Bardolfo, Robin Johannsen and Grégoire Mour as the Ford couple, and Sunhae Im as Betty.

It is not only Falstaff’s antics that delight: Salieri’s light, sparkling music makes the whole concert irresistible.

Tickets: € 10 - € 65
