Falstaff: the enduring appeal of Shakespeare’s fat knight

Mark Pullinger, 13th April

Few operatic characters straddle the operatic stage larger than Sir John Falstaff. Read our in depth 'opera portrait' on Verdi's Falstaff as well as some of his other guises.

The Met: Falstaff

Rebecca Lentjes, 9th December

Like Falstaff, I found myself attempting to gobble up as much as I could: the amusing story, Robert Carsen's resourceful directing, and the brilliant music. In addition to the strong instrumental performing, the singing was, on the whole, delightful.
