A belly-full of laughs at Opera Australia's production of Verdi's Falstaff

David Larkin, 17th February

Tragedy seems to age better than comedy. The works of Aeschylus have been more influential than those of Aristophanes, and Shakespeare’s darker plays are far more popular than his pure comedies. This same propensity for gloomy subjects can also be seen in the opera world.
