"Tutto nel mondo è burla": All the world's a jest. The final words of Verdi's Falstaff ring down the curtain on one of the warmest and wisest comedies in all music, ending one of the greatest careers in opera with a peal of life-affirming laughter. Any production is a special occasion, but this 2019 staging from the Teatro Réal in Madrid is directed by a true master of comedy, Laurent Pelly. With Daniele Rustioni conducting a wonderfully engaging cast, this spirited updating brings out the pathos, the wit and the bubbling humanity of Verdi's last (and funniest) opera.
