Falstaff
26 September 7:30 PM
Shakespeare’s endearing rogue Falstaff, is one of the greatest characters in English literature and makes a fitting subject for Verdi’s final – and many believe finest – opera.
The comic stratagems employed by the Merry Wives of Windsor and their menfolk in arranging the come-uppance of both Sir John and his tormentor Ford provide the perfect backdrop for Verdi’s witty, concise and sparkling music. A brilliant combination, providing an ideal match for the Mid Wales Opera vocal and orchestral ensembles.
Martin Lloyd-Evans returns to direct this magical opera with a cast of singers who regularly perform with the major opera companies. Nicholas Cleobury conducts for the first time as the Company’s new Artistic Director. Bringing a fresh impetus to Mid Wales Opera’s immediate and entertaining style, this new production will bring home the opera’s closing thought: ‘He who laughs last, laughs best’!
Sung in English and accompanied by the Mid Wales Opera Chamber Orchestra. Read more about this event … or
