The MacRobert Hall, 4th, 7th and 9th August 2005.

Building on the success of the Festival's previous opera productions, we present Verdi's amusing tale of a loveable rogue. Falstaff is an ingenious situation comedy, wonderfully amusing, masterfully constructed and insightful from one of the greatest composer - librettist collaborations ever.

The famous final fugue offers the motto: "tutto nel mondo è burla, l'uomo è nato burlone…" - Life is full of laughter; we are born to laugh - at each other, and at ourselves!
