Nicholas Cleobury, the eminent conductor and Mid Wales Opera’sbrand new Artistic Director, presents Verdi’s Falstaff with a fine ensemble of talented singers, blending experience with youth, accompanied by the Mid Wales Opera Chamber Orchestra. Martin Lloyd-Evans and Bridget Kimak return (La Bohème 2007, The Marriage of Figaro 2009) to direct and design Falstaff in our new and exciting production. Full of boisterous vulgarity, yet nobly magnificent Falstaff inspires the passionate admiration of opera lovers everywhere. Shakespeare’s Sir John, now very short of cash, pursues two wealthy wives of Windsor for their money, but does not bank on their determination to foil him. Their merry tricks lead to his come-uppance, and to the chastisement of their own, too jealous, husbands. Intertwined in all is a tender love story. Featuring one of the world’s greatest stage characters, Verdi created in his last opera a brilliant and joyful drama of young love and old foolishness, vividly underlined by a scintillating musical score.
